Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Rich and fruity. Floral. Carnation. Baked peaches. Hazelnuts. Polished oak floor. A touch of blackcurrant. Palate Crisp, tangy. Lingering fruit. Blackcurrant jam. Gingerbread. Chocolate fudge. Finish Dry. Nutmeg. Liquorice. Comment An assertive character, with a pleasant crisp feel on the palate. The dram to take on long forest walk. Invigorating.

Dave Broom Nose Mature. Candied peels, melted white chocolate, fresh fruit salad. The oak takes things into the sauna (pine). With water become deeper: honeydew melon, currant, heather. Palate A seamless flow of all the flavours on the nose. Beautifully balanced. Finish Fantastic length. Comment Structure and softness in perfect harmony. A must drink.
