Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Plump and fleshy with apricot/pear and light liquorice. Coconut cream and some muscle. Palate Peachy once more, but thins quickly, Very light in the mouth with a nutty/vanilla mid-palate. Finish Biscuity. Light. Comment Once again the nose offers up hope only for it to be dashed on the palate. It’s not so much these are light, it is that they lack substance.

Gavin Smith Nose Delicate, with pleasing aromas of pears and spring flowers. Palate Malt and ginger, slightly assertive. Finish Attractive ginger/spice notes, but not much length to it. Comment Lively spices dominate this expression, but perhaps slightly on the youthful side?
