Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Oak. Lots of it. A slight rubbery/sulphur note which flies off revealing dried fruits and general jamminess. Vinous.
- Palate
- Strangely flat with a basket filled with fleshy fruits hiding quite aggressive oakiness. Heavily sherried,seems sweetened up. Slightly better with water there's cranberry and cream.
- Finish
- Thick and long.
- Comment
- Lacks balance for me. Overloaded in the oak department and also too sweet.
Martine Nouet
68- Nose
- Toffeish. Caramel. Hazelnut fudge. A citrussy hint. Seems to give its best at first nose. A hint of fresh paint. A faint sherry note too.
- Palate
- Very sweet. Watery and sugary. Caramel again then some faint sherry notes. Dark fruit. Raisins.
- Finish
- Quickly fading.
- Comment
- Does not give all what you expect. Like a too soft cushion. Not comfortable in the end. It would be interesting to taste it at a higher strength.
