Martine Nouet
73- Nose
- Earthy. Wet leaves. Moss. As if being welcome by a wet dog when entering a damp house.
- Palate
- Sweet at start then very peppery. Delivers all at once. Getting bitter.
- Finish
- Very concentrated,then fading.
- Comment
- Quite a dour character. I can't really find comfort with all this dampness !
Dominic Roskrow
94- Nose
- Floral with rose talc powder,dusty,like an old lady's boudoir.
- Palate
- Much weightier and fuller than the nose suggests,with rich apricot and strawberry fruit,hefty spice and a delightful spicy earthiness. some tannins come through late on. Extraordinary.
- Finish
- Astringent and tanniny but not in bad way - plenty of fruit keeps it all in check.
- Comment
- This distillery surprises regularly. This is a gem,excelling in the finest company.
