Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Delicate, a bit shy. Gingerbread. Parma violet. Sweet potato. Hay, dry flowers. Water brings out a touch of varnish.
- Palate
- Fresh and straightforward. A malty touch then seems to rush through to a very spicy end.
- Finish
- Gingery, dry. Hefty.
- Comment
- A strange fellow. As if all was delivered in a dash. Then the finish seems to never end.
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- Young and crisp. Green apple, green plum/plum stone, wet grass, cut flowers. A firm oaky counterpoint with hints of porridgy malt.
- Palate
- Medium-bodied. Peppery, vibrant. Good weight filling it out. Sweet and well balanced. Spreads well on the palate. Good grip.
- Finish
- Clean, soft grassiness.
- Comment
- A wee charmer.
