72
- Nose
- Biscuity. Shortbread. Dundee cake. Cellar.
- Palate
- Buttery and nutty. Crushed apples, cider. Vanilla. A sweet note of peach marmalade.
- Finish
- Too much softness. Gentle spiciness.
- Comment
- Not easy to evaluate what sauternes casks have brought in. An extra sweetness maybe but no particular sauternes aromas. Appreciable bottling strength.
80
- Nose
- Thick, creamy yet malty nose with concentrated fruits: apricot, orange peel, tarte tatin, vanilla pod.
- Palate
- Real presence in the mouth. Ripe and well-rounded with banana/orange.
- Finish
- Rich, with woody notes.
- Comment
- This works as a finish. The slight woodiness just knocks it down a mark or two-and it doesn't like water.
