Martine Nouet
72- Nose
- Cider. Burnt apple tree. A rustic bouquet. Cow-shed. Distant smokiness. Earthy roots. Freshly baked multi-grain bread. Sultanas. A seashore echo.
- Palate
- Smooth and soft. Too soft. Sweetness thickens mouthfeel and taste. Nutty. Wood is there, not dominating but blurring the flavours.
- Finish
- Slightly spicy, sweet. Liquorice. Lacks elegance.
- Comment
- The nose is lively but the palate is put to sleep by sweetness.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Immediate peatiness. Turfy rather than marine. Phenolics, macadamia nut, horchata. Light meaty note. Sweet centre.
- Palate
- Light smoke lying above firm, young grassy, notes. Beech nuts, heather. Silky feel.
- Finish
- Good length. Drifting smoke.
- Comment
- This seems to have the peatiness more to the fore than in the past.
