Martine Nouet
72- Nose
- Grassy and malty. Barley sugar, Weetabix. Cowshed. Corn syrup. Opens up on fruity notes. Summer fruit. Cherry jam.
- Palate
- Incredibly sweet for the strength. Flowing, custardy, then breaks into a spicy burst.
- Finish
- Dry and short. Slightly astringent.
- Comment
- The nose is more attractive than the palate, rather restrained.
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- Clean and leafy (green leaves), light nutty/hay-like maltiness, pie crust, macaroon and a hint of phenols. Water reveals a note like firelighters/leaking primus stove.
- Palate
- Incredibly hot when taken neat. Water calms it and initially shows hazelnut and attractive sweetness. Then it collapses.
- Finish
- Light smoke.
- Comment
- Once again not sufficient complexity or balance to elevate it to greatness.
