Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Balsamic. Eucalyptus. Cigar box. Oak is present.
- Palate
- Dry and crisp. Burnt apple wood. Chestnut cake. Oak is prevailing but in a pleasant way.
- Finish
- Dry, quite short.
- Comment
- Interesting nose but the palate does not quite fulfil the expectations. Oak speaks too loud at times.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Ripe with lots of new wood and with that a light charred/hickory note. Some hickory. Semisweet and bourbon, but has a certain complexity.
- Palate
- Briar, polished wood. Dry and slightly tannic. Very firm meaning that the sweetness is obscured by the oak. There's nutmeg, allspice and some black fruit.
- Finish
- Long slightly tannic.
- Comment
- The oak is a little heavy-handed and though it has character, there's a lack of balance.
