Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Shy initially, then blossoms. Wood and fruit gracefully interlace. Muscat grape. Dates. Vanilla rice pudding. Carnations.
- Palate
- More wood than on the nose. Creamy. Sweet stewed plums. Oaky.
- Finish
- Quickly fades with sweet fruity notes.
- Comment
- Not the depth of the PortWood 21 Years Old, but thoroughly enjoyable.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Sweet, quite winey, reminiscent of old Tavel rose. There's some honey, spices, charred fruits and red fruits. Subtle.
- Palate
- Soft and honeyed with a sweet redcurrant jelly flavour. Good weight and balance. A sweet gentle malt.
- Finish
- Soft.
- Comment
- Well-mannered and well-balanced.
