Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Firm and malty yet with a scented exotic fragrance: orchid/flight frangipan. Wood. Palate Soft and seemingly simple start then things pick up. A juicy mouthwatering quality reminiscent of mango. Balanced. Some chocolate. Finish Fruit juice. Comment Well put together, the finish not too obtrusive.

Arthur Motley Nose A vibrant initial nose with forest fruits, strawberries and orange frozen yoghurt. Vanilla and nuts, like nut sprinkles on ice cream. Palate Rich and creamy with caramel sweetness on the tongue with lots of dried fruit (papaya, raisins, apricots, pineapple). Strawberry jam. Finish More jammy sweetness. Comment I’ve nothing against finishes, especially when they work as well as this one!
