Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Fragrant and quite grassy (hay). Light wood oil notes, almost varnish like with peach, strawberry stewed apple and green plum. With water there's a toasty note, cigar box light caramel and a little mint. Interesting.
- Palate
- Good feel medium bodied mixing a dominant crisp dried grassy note with orange peel, chocolate and a creamy mid palate.
- Finish
- Spicy with chocolate but dries fairly quickly.
- Comment
- Well balanced and worth seeking out.
Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Slightly butyric. Touch of rancid butter. Malty, wet draff. Peaches in a honeyed syrup. The buttery aroma comes out more pleasantly.
- Palate
- Mouth coating, nearly syrupy. Very sweet. Malteasers, liquorice toffee.
- Finish
- Medium length. Sweet to the end. With a taste of stewed grass. Dry dust feel.
- Comment
- The first nose is not promising then the sweet maltiness wraps it in a more pleasant dress. You've got to have a taste for sweet drinks.
