Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Shy, delicate. Spring garden. Grassy. Orange sherbet. Raspberry. Mint lollipop. A briny echo.
- Palate
- Smooth, gentle at start. Then the alcohol strength breaks out. Iced mint sweets.
- Finish
- Tangy (even with water), dry. Herbal.
- Comment
- The nose is very distinguished and floaty. The palate is a bit too assertive because of the high strength. Requires oxygenation and water.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Mature. Crystallised ginger, lemon drizzle cake, chalk, spicy marmalade. Subtle. Needs a drop of water to open into polished oak. Linseed.
- Palate
- Clean and soft with dried peels. An interesting, strangely exotic quality. Deep.
- Finish
- Long and spicy.
- Comment
- Excellent balance given the age – wood hasn't overpowered it.
