Dave Broom
85- Nose
- A pleasing hint of emulsion paint, then sweet cereal (sugar puffs) sappy grass and fresh herbs. There's a whiff of lemon thyme before olive oil/rum oils come through. Balanced.
- Palate
- Clean and nutty to start with a linden blossom touch. Crisp up before a gentle weight of fruit presses down in the tongue. Creamy.
- Finish
- Sweet and soft.
- Comment
- It's all quite subtle, but rewarding.

88- Nose
- Perfumy, floral. Delicate and intense. Honeysuckle. Complex with layers of soft fruit lusciously unwinding, set in oak like diamonds in gold. Cedar wood.
- Palate
- Velvety, smooth and fruity. Oak is completely integrated. Some rancio. Dried fruit.
- Finish
- Long, dry with a dark chocolate bitterness. Cubèbe pepper.
- Comment
- A superb old Speysider profile. Complex, elegant, reminds me of a grande champagne cognac.
