Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Big, upfront with masses of vanilla overlaying the inevitable spiciness. Huge, sweet and powerful. Picks up an almost dried fruit depth in time. With water a scented dustiness gives it a lift. Palate Grainy texture. Heat and oaky grip. Cherryade but the aromatic edge carries through well. Zesty. Finish Good length. Oaky. Comment Not exactly subtle, but has a certain bruising charm.

Dominic Roskrow Nose Rich, deep, Christmas cake, wood polish, sandalwood. Palate Big hit of oak and spice, prunes, dark chocolate and oak. Then more wood. Finish Long, dry and spicy. Oh, and did I mention the oak? Comment Not for the faint-hearted. For the Kill Bill, vindaloo and extreme wrestling person in your life.
