Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Forceful and pungent. Fresh fruits. Seems to have good age and a certain exoticism. Water accentuates this sandalwood note.
- Palate
- Great intensity of flavour and pretty hot without water, the addition of which calms things, shows some nuttiness but also exposing a little too much grippy wood. Lacks flavour impact.
- Finish
- A little nutty bitterness.
- Comment
- After a nose that can only be described as “hairy” it rather loses focus.
Arthur Motley
80- Nose
- Mandarin, varnished oak and marzipan. Chocolate orange and some pear. With a little time some musty, damp vegetation notes appear which are not unpleasant. Mint toffee too.
- Palate
- Lots of orange, milk chocolate and some sappy oak. The texture begins sweet and syrupy but is quickly dried out by the wood.
- Finish
- Mouth-drying, slightly astringent oakiness.
- Comment
- The oak borders on intrusive at times, but just managed to restrain itself.
