Dave Broom
77- Nose
- High cask influence: walnut whip, caramelised fruit sugars, ginger buns, woodsmoke. Deep, resinous with clove and a little cardamom.
- Palate
- Immediate tannic grip with quite substantial spirit cutting through the oak: fungal, dark chocolate, chestnut purée. Not too tannic.
- Finish
- Ripe, old, cassis.
- Comment
- A lot of cask here but strangely subtle for such a heavy beast.
Arthur Motley
72- Nose
- Earthy mossiness with a fruit; oranges or raisins. Liquorice bark and furniture polish. Pine and some mustiness.
- Palate
- Viscous then drying. Some cognac-like fruitiness and aniseed.
- Finish
- Tannins by the ton. Tree bark.
- Comment
- Too woody for me, but some people will adore its obvious ‘old-ness'.
