85
- Nose
- Notes of sherry, fruit, chocolate, and ginger.
- Palate
- Sherry, raisins, chocolate, ginger. Quite luxurious.
- Finish
- Unhurried, with chocolatey notes and gingery dryness.
- Comment
- Salient house characteristics, especially the chocolate, at their boldest and most sustained.
75
- Nose
- Autumnal. Damp leaves, turned earth, chocolate truffle, hint of rancio. Barley sugar, privet.
- Palate
- Very smooth and silky. Good maturity. Cereal notes. Crisp, woody texture.
- Finish
- Short.
- Comment
- Another where the nose promises a lot, but the palate doesn't quite deliver.
