75
- Nose
- Great maturity. Nail varnish, lacquer. Velvety with some nuttiness (walnut/cashew). Glossy.
- Palate
- Starts sweetly enough, then grips. Lacks complexity and breadth.
- Finish
- Firm. Hard.
- Comment
- High maintenance. Beneath that sleek exterior beats a hard, one dimensional heart.
77
- Nose
- Old, gingery mulling spices and an exotic musky spice. Spiced apple compote, honey and a background sherbety zip. Faint chlorine and vanilla.
- Palate
- Lemon, orange sherbet, nutmeg and dry spice. Slightly waxy.
- Finish
- Woody, dry/bitter complexity.
- Comment
- Clearly old, and pleasant enough but slightly muted.
