Nose
Vegetal. Peppery. Aromatic. Palate
Dry, firm, chewiness. Lots of flavour development. Sooty. Smoky. Oaky. Sappy. Orange pith and zest. Finish
Surprisingly lively, spicy. Faintly medicinal. Comment
A grizzled old character, but gains points for resilience.
Dave Broom
Nose
Full: clootie dumpling mix, chocolate, toffee then nut, coal/smoke. Palate
Medium rich. The smoke clings to everything: soft cakey fruit and apple and as it dries walnut bread. Finish
Smoky. Comment
Very well balanced.
