Martine Nouet

72
Nose
Bland at first then getting rather expressive. Releases a lot of sweet notes. Maple syrup, toasted pecan nuts. A touch of cider apple.
Palate
Sweet with a distinctive apple and maple syrup flavour. Oak is overwhelming in a grippy bite.
Finish
Dry, oaky, slightly bitter.
Comment
That maple syrup taste works more like an additive than a natural aroma gained through maturation.

Dave Broom

77
Nose
Ripe with lots of American oak, sweet cooked fruits, apple, oak lactone, butterscotch. Water broadens it even further. Macadamia.
Palate
Plump, round and full. Sinks on to the tongue but lacks a little definition. Water crisps things up, but only a little. Seems slightly off balance. Has length and depth but almost too fat.
Finish
Candy floss sweetness. Long.
Comment
Bolder and beefier than the standard.
