Arthur Motley
85- Nose
- Greenhouses full of tomato plants, Seville oranges, putty and fish oil. With time, burnt driftwood and heather.
- Palate
- More Seville oranges, arrabbiata sauce, heather and creosoted wood.
- Finish
- Clove-spice.
- Comment
- Excellent, although I was slightly put off by the fishiness. I think all fish are stinking, slimey creatures however, so I am admittedly biased.
Owen Barstow
67- Nose
- Delicate yet complex. Sweet yet savoury, with a salty earthiness in there somewhere. Faint linseed character at the end.
- Palate
- Confident. Firm. Sweet. Salty. Pronounced phenol development. Fiery. Burnt and burning peat.
- Finish
- Warming and medicinal. Reminiscent of the aroma of polished antique furniture.
- Comment
- Easier drinking with water, but for full effect...
