Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Sherry, ground coffee. Morello cherries. Grapefruit juice. A distinctive sourness combined with dry oaky notes. Liquorice. Opening on sweet creamy custard. Hint of damp wall.
- Palate
- Sweet but oaky. Sherry is in control. Burnt caramel. Bitter tang.
- Finish
- Dry, oaky, dark chocolate, liquorice.
- Comment
- Another example of sherry domination. Where's the balance?
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Ripe and sweet with dried fruits, nuts and candied peel shifting into marmalade, persimmon. Shows good balance with a sweet blackberry note cut with saddle soap.
- Palate
- Once again, really piercing concentration which goes into a mix of dry, crisp oak this time with cigar leaf, oak and sandalwood.
- Finish
- Red grape skin, redcurrant tartness.
- Comment
- Good, but again not quite the extra dimension that's needed.
