75
- Nose
- Big and sweet with lots of childhood aromas: rosehip syrup, travel sweets, stewed rhubarb, ginger snaps filled with cream and strawberry jam. High tea in a glass.
- Palate
- Very thick and mouthfilling, mixing oak, red fruit coulis. Juicy and fat. Best neat, though water brings out a light leafy quality.
- Finish
- Sweet chestnut.
- Comment
- A plump fruity number.
75
- Nose
- Tangy, slightly spirity. Very fruity. Tangerine juice, grapefruit (the pulp not the peel), plum jam. Gives a fresh feel. A touch of nougat. Opens on cappuccino. Touch of leather.
- Palate
- Smooth and sweet at first then abruptly shifts to hot spices (tabasco). A touch of cocoa bean.
- Finish
- Dry and warm.
- Comment
- Quite a punchy lad. Water calms it but that colourful fruit basket loses its brightness.
