Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Another sherried character which noses old. Earthy. Bracken, humus with a fungal touch. More dried fruit than the previous ones.
- Palate
- Sweet and sour and also bitter. The alcohol bites. Warm and spicy. With a fizzy feel. Burnt caramel.
- Finish
- Slightly numbing. Burnt toffee. Demerara sugar caramel.
- Comment
- Old but not very lively. The nose is complex and fragrant.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Big and concentrated with masses of rose hip syrup cut with fresh varnish. There's hints of camphor and incense along with plenty of dried fruits/Xmas pudding and prune.
- Palate
- Yes, there are big tannins on show but there's a balancing rich soft sweetness. Masses of liquorice and plenty of bruised black fruits.
- Finish
- Long, slightly bitter and powerful.
- Comment
- For sherry fiends certainly but it's certainly got balance.
