Dave Broom
73- Nose
- Light as rainwater. Needs time for a lint-like aroma to emerge followed by melon, oyster liquor, wet bracken and light smoke. Hint of phenols, though it's more ozone than fire. Swimming pool.
- Palate
- Good feel. Much sweeter than the nose and the smoke also comes through, adding another dimension, but it falls apart easily and quickly.
- Finish
- Bandages.
- Comment
- Good but pretty tired.
Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Grassy. Lemon balm. Touch of aniseed. Quite prickly but clean. Opens up on fruit notes (cider, lemon zest).
- Palate
- Sweet but assertive. Flowing nicely on the tongue. Pineapple drop. Faint smoke in the back.
- Finish
- Dry, grassy.
- Comment
- A kick you up dram. Becomes more interesting with a dash of water. To keep for a wintery miserable day.
