Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Big. Savoury. Black olive, bung cloth, bay leaf, and a little smoke. Lightly waxed notes mixing with coconut, trifle sponge, malt and sweet dried fruits. Substantial and complex.
- Palate
- Enjoyably thick and chewy palate with big, upfront flavours allowing the smoke to slide underneath. Good grip.
- Finish
- Slightly briny.
- Comment
- There's an uncompromising feral power to this. Magnificent.
Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Sharp, tangy. Warm blackcurrant pie. A balsamic note of thyme oil. A hint of bogmyrtle maybe. Quite difficult to assess. Old furniture.
- Palate
- Sweet, less sharp than on the nose. Wood speaks up too. Bitter chocolate. Artichoke leaves.
- Finish
- Rather short. Does not leave a great impression. Slightly bitter.
- Comment
- A strange character. Hard to grab. The palate reveals an interesting sweetness but the finish disappoints.
