Dave Broom
74- Nose
- Bold and oily with a slight sour note reminiscent of goats cheese. Smoke, sealing wax and stables.
- Palate
- Better than the nose,army blankets, nutty but then the sour lactic note reemerges in the centre. Big and briny with mink oil.Richly textured.Oil skins and some smoke.
- Finish
- Thick and clinging.
- Comment
- The nose is off-putting,which knocks the score down, but the palate delivers.
Martine Nouet
78- Nose
- Tangy. A earthy fungal note. Damp wood and cellar. Sour apple skin. A lactic aroma lingers above a sweeter note.Cooked apples in honey.
- Palate
- Smooth,fruity and pleasant. Cooked peaches in a honeyed syrup. Fresh apple juice. Muesli. Quite appetising.
- Finish
- Long,liquoriced.
- Comment
- This unpleasant “something”on the nose fades in time and the palate is really satisfying. It is just a question of giving it time to chase the musty aroma away!
