Martine Nouet
82- Nose
- Cedary. Shoe polish. Wood speaks up first but elegantly gives way to fruity notes. Fruit cake. Marmalade. Raisin scones. Cinnamon.
- Palate
- Round and mellow. Mouth-coating. Rich and luscious. Candied chestnut. Resiny. Smooth.
- Finish
- Round, sweet, drying off on wood. Hint of chewed tobacco.
- Comment
- A very restorative and comforting dram.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Cream, overripe fruits, light citrus, sugared almond, bletted fruits then shifts back to dryness.
- Palate
- Oloroso sweetness to start. Good oxidised notes, nutty. Soft...very soft.
- Finish
- Prune. Length.
- Comment
- Clearly the 10 Years Old is much beefier, but soft-hearted brother.
