Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Refreshing and gentle. Summer fruit. Melon. Vanilla pod. Touch of new leather. Developing on cooked fruit notes. Pear pie. Stewed peaches. Yeasty.
- Palate
- Delivers nose promises. Smooth and silky.
- Finish
- Fruity, gentle and slightly nutty.
- Comment
- Classic, gentle and pleasing. A consensual malt. Good match with salmon and light seafood dishes.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Spicy. Hot sawdust, fresh ginger, citrus zest. Crisp. With water fragrant oak, allspice, shortbread with sugar. Summery.
- Palate
- Dried apricot, tingling. Slightly sweet with good balance in the mid-palate. Hint of menthol.
- Finish
- Tingling ginger. Short but fresh.
- Comment
- Good energy, balance with surprising weight.
