75
- Nose
- Buttery, biscuity. A slight rancid touch. Distant lemon curd. Pears poached in vanilla.
- Palate
- Mellow for such a strength. Quite rich and creamy. Almond milk, stewed sweet apples. Getting spicier and spicier.
- Finish
- Spicy, warm and tangy. Sweetened by a pleasant marzipan caress.
- Comment
- The wine smoothes but it is not there yet. Too young? Not enough finishing? It should have gone back to sleep.
85
- Nose
- Rich crème brûlée and butterscotch lead apricots, citrus and creamy vanilla trifle, with a final dusting of chocolate.
- Palate
- Creamy crème brûlée with a chocolate fest mid-way, extending with luscious apricots, oranges, grapefruit and lemon zest, culminating in creamy cappuccino.
- Finish
- Fruity with a chocolate flourish.
- Comment
- Like a passionate rendez-vous between a chocolatier and a distiller.
