Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Fruity and sweet. Ripe cherry plums, almond milk, acacia honey.
- Palate
- Smooth and velvety. A caressing feel, quite thick. Good balance. As fruity as on the nose. Plums with a hint of prunes.
- Finish
- Medium, with a pleasant dry spiciness. Soothes down on an almondy note.
- Comment
- A perfectly balanced dram. Fruit and spices mingle gently.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Light and grassy and slightly stony to start. In time there's sweet persimmon and nut.
- Palate
- Pure and very clean. Sweet lime, green fruits then a hint of smoke and a buttery meadow sweet/chamomile note. Light to the point of fragility.
- Finish
- Honey, lemon and a little ginger.
- Comment
- Delicacy to the fore. A breakfast dram if there were ever one.
