87- Nose
- Dry but fragrant smoke with touch of pot pourri. Citrus peels thrown on a bonfire. Hot embers,smoked fish and chocolate. Water increases complexity with brimstone and elastoplast.
- Palate
- Immediate embers/coal dust. A burst of sweetness,then it dries,though it flows well revealing a slight oiliness in time along with pepper.
- Finish
- Clean and peaty.
- Comment
- An effusively phenolic smouldering hulk. Recommended.
Martine Nouet
70- Nose
- Smoky. Bonfire on a wet day. A hint of smoked sausage. The smoky notes develop together with a floral scent. Hyacinth. A mineral touch. Wet pebbles. Then opening on a nutty note. With water,a sour touch.
- Palate
- Smooth at first but not for long. A big spicy explosion. Dry soot. Chewy feel. Water brings in fresh mint and liquorice but also some astringency.
- Finish
- Dry, smoky.
- Comment
- The nose is enticing but the palate does not follow.
