Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Buttery. Gingerbread. Plum jam. Raisins dipped in chocolate. Prunes and dates. White pepper. Butterscotch. Palate Enticing. Lovely oily mouthfeel. Spicy plum chutney. Cinnamon, nutmeg. Finish Oaky, spicy, warm and long. Comment Oak calls the tune but does not drown out the choir. A classic after-dinner dram.

Dave Broom Nose Weighty, stewed fruits, cocoa (Green and Blacks) bramble jelly, flambéed pineapple, clotted cream, blackberry. Palate Rich fat and sweet. Dried fruits, Dundee cake, pecan, cherry, plum/pruneaux. Chocolate. Finish Sweet, long, mixing dried and hedgerow fruits. Molasses. Comment This is a Rubens nude, waving as she flies past in a flash car.
