Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Intensely fragrant. Fruity and buttery. Stewed plums, custard, white pepper. Vanilla fudge. Mint chocolate. Very dessert-like.
- Palate
- Mellow, elegant. Fruit and oak interlaced.
- Finish
- Unexpected dryness with a bitter note.
- Comment
- The nose is rich and harmonious. The palate not so lavish, somewhat dulled by wood dominating. It would have shown better at a higher strength.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Rounded. Dried grasses, coconut, honeydew melon. Tree blossom (lime tree/linden). Slightly lean.
- Palate
- Touch of smoke, firm structure then a liquorous syrupy quality. Coconut again.
- Finish
- Sweet then dries into nut.
- Comment
- Another which picks up well on the palate.
