Martine Nouet
57- Nose
- Big brutal sherry. Winey. Quite beefy. Marmite. Overpowering sherrywood. Tobacco.
- Palate
- Toffee but with rancid butter notes. Cardboard. No subtlety in that sherry first-fill. Where has the malt gone?
- Finish
- Long but bitter. Smoky burnt wood.
- Comment
- You need to be sherry-mad to love this. Water releases more pleasant fruitcake notes on the nose but more harshness on the palate.
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- The colour suggests European oak and the nose is a classic dry amontillado: resin, clove, savoury notes-roasted almond, flamed orange peel, smoked tea, some toffee.
- Palate
- Heavy sherry flavours, almond especially. A slightly oily but tannic feel. There's perfumed smoke but the spirit is beefed up by heavy oak flavours.
- Finish
- Smoked cheese.
- Comment
- The richest by far, but all of it wood-driven.
