Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Mature but slightly greasy and a little soapy. Boiled sweets. Very buttery and slightly spicy (cumin). Palate Cognac like: dried peels, grilled nut and good grip. Long and quite full in body. Finish Burnt cake. Slightly bitter. Comment Lacks balance.

Arthur Motley Nose Tomato paste and hoi sin sauce. Melted chocolate. Palate Sweet and sickly yet astringent at the same time. Finish Cloying yet woody at the same time. Comment Not a great example.
