Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Rich, bold. Beewax, antique shop. Old leather. Chestnut purée; Palate Round, sweet, velvety. A beautiful development on fruit and wood. So well integrated. All spice, cinnamon, candied ginger. Dried raisins. Finish Dry, warm, spicy. Comment A rich and comforting character. Complex but not complicated. To warm you up on a dull evening. Play Beethoven Symphony N°7 (second movement) and you’ll be in heaven.

Ian Wisniewski Nose Mellow, rich dried fruit, spicy oak with a burst of fresh citrus zest mid-way, and opening up further with apricot jam, cocoa powder and vanilla. Palate Creamy vanilla, chocolate, fruit trifle sweetness, with more fruit opening up: orange marmalade, apricot jam then some chocolate, nutmeg and cappuccino notes. Finish Citrus, vanilla, butterscotch, dry spicy oak. Comment Like a platter of various desserts, why choose one when you can have them all.
