Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Resinous. Myrrh. Beeswax polish and a touch of incense. Becomes fragrant and oily with tea and leather. Profound and strange with an almost bloody edge to it. Evolved,mature,complex
- Palate
- The resinous quality continues with smoke,black walnut,long pepper, Bolivar cigar. Needs water and benefits from it.Old,with a firm grip
- Finish
- Long,exotic and strange
- Comment
- Should only be consumed in small amounts by consenting adults. Highest recommendation
Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Verytangy. Nutty. Rich. Dry almonds, raisins. Opens on luscious Dundee cake notes. But the alcohol is aggressive. A touch of old leather. With water,damson plums
- Palate
- The alcohol bite is too strong to enjoy the smooth “would be”feel. Oily. Water brings out ripe fruit notes.And a lovely spicy festoon
- Finish
- Toffeish,gently spicy
- Comment
- Certainly a nose cleaner. Water is compulsory to tame its vibrant character and appreciate its richness
