Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Scented, spicy with some Seville orange, cedar then sweetness into poached tropical fruit, and mint. A complex aroma with hints of rancio.
- Palate
- Oak lends a firm edge, balancing concentrated raspberry fruit initially fragrant before deepening into dark vegetal areas.
- Finish
- Long, fruity, silky.
- Comment
- What a start! A truly magnificent dram and for me miles ahead of the competition.
Arthur Motley
95- Nose
- Fermenting gala melons, overripe kiwis, creamy strawberry sweets, and banana milkshake. A light chemical note: like petrol or a black truffle without the mushroominess.
- Palate
- Fruit salad, Carnation cream, aniseed and crème de menthe.
- Finish
- Zesty sourness, with a musty woodiness.
- Comment
- Head and shoulders above the others in this batch.
