Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Direct with notes of fennel, pine, green leaf and a tickle of smoke. Slight biscuity sweetness with water.
- Palate
- Delicate with hints of jasmine and elderflower and a tingle of alcohol. Very sweet with a decent feel, but seems strangely fragile.
- Finish
- Slightly lactic.
- Comment
- Almost as if it is still coming together.
Martine Nouet
87- Nose
- Herbal. Aromatic. Fragrant but the alcohol bite masks the aromas at start. Then smooths on rich cream (Jersey clotted cream?) and freshly churned butter. Gooseberry fool.
- Palate
- Surprisingly sweet. Star anise. A hint of passion fruit. Sherbet dib-dabs.
- Finish
- Quite short, fading quickly.
- Comment
- Mellows once the alcohol has evaporated, especially with water. A good summer refresher.
