Martine Nouet
83- Nose
- Big, intense. Immediate marine scents. Iodine, seaweeds with an earthy note. Smoky and floral notes rise up, intimately interlaced. Smoked haddock and meat. BBQ ready ! A fresh aniseed touch.
- Palate
- Sweet at start with a big whiff of smoke. Then a dry fizzy feel. The alcohol is well mastered. Minty and liquorice freshness.
- Finish
- Lingering, refreshing and sooty.
- Comment
- A big islander, well structured and well balanced. Just a dash of water is enough to enhance the flavours.
Rob Allanson
89- Nose
- Coal tar soap, sweet heather, smoked kippers and creamy cullen skink. Sooty edges. There is also BBQ marinade. Rice, black bean sauce and chillies, Char Sui pork.
- Palate
- Sweet first and then the soot comes through. Has a slight waxy texture to it as well.
- Finish
- Dries out briefly before becoming seriously mouth watering.
- Comment
- A serious and excellent addition to the line up, cannot wait to try it with Asian food.
