Martine Nouet
87- Nose
- Assertive, ethereal. Orange blossom. Cooked fruit. Lime marmalade. An earth after rain scent slowly covers up the fruit, releasing a hint of distant smoke. Spice dust.
- Palate
- Velvety, sensually mouthcoating. Does not abandon its assertiveness though.
- Finish
- Dry, oaky. Bitter orange peel.
- Comment
- A complex, rich and interesting character. Water cuts the edges and adds creaminess. A real delight.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Fat. Aniseed twists, cake dough, allspice, millionaire's shortcake, seaside rock with spicy burnt orange overtones. In time plenty of vanilla.
- Palate
- Ripe and full-bodied. Very sweet with a cocoa powder density before a fizzing lift of spice.
- Finish
- Good length becoming sweeter.
- Comment
- Excellent balance. Recommended.
