Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Tickly. Floral. Bergamot. Earl grey tea. Pear drop. Caramel. Develops on sour fruit (green apple, orange juice). An enticing perfumy display.
- Palate
- Mellow, but a bit soft and watery on midpalate. Develops on hot spices (tabasco).
- Finish
- Dry and hot.
- Comment
- Has an aromatic profile close to a rye whiskey. Quite charming. Too bad it has been emasculated by an excessive dilution. A handsome eunuch?
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- Clean and quite aromatic: herbs, eucalyptus, green almond, white asparagus behind some sandalwood. High rye.
- Palate
- Light, fresh and clean. A scented (furniture polish) quality to it. Turkish Delight. Slick and soft.
- Finish
- Dry. Rye flour.
- Comment
- Clean and fresh. Mid-morning.
