Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Shy. A grassy note. Quite perfumy and enticing in time. Water chestnut. Very elegant.
- Palate
- Smooth, satisfying. Oak is well integrated. Pear. Orange and almond tart. Spices burst out after the sweet release.
- Finish
- Medium, refreshing. Slightly nutty.
- Comment
- Delivers more than expected. Seems a bit bland at start but it displays an attractive array of aromas and flavours on time. The rum influence is under control.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Mature. Malty with dark chocolate-covered strawberries, some prune. With water becomes musky with hints of cedar and a gentle relaxed sweetness held in check by quite firm oak.
- Palate
- Softer than the nose suggests and significantly sweeter. Layers of fruits, cocoa, syrup, demerara sugar, coffee.
- Finish
- Cigar-like then softens and sweetens.
- Comment
- Great balance. An exemplary finish.
