- Nose
- Slightly fat and doughy (cookie mix) with a glucose like quality. With water, there's big sweet notes,toasted marshmallow,chestnut and a hint of meatiness in the background.
- Palate
- Very clean,ripe and chewy.A little hot when neat (needs water),then stewed rhubarb,roasted malt before caramel toffee comes through as does stewed plum. Good acidity. Well balanced.
- Finish
- Dries a little quickly.
- Comment
- A perfectly pleasant potation.
73
- Nose
- Rich and complex. Good integration of fruit and oak. Cider apple. Honey and
nuts. Nougat. Opening on biscuity notes. An earthy peaty note in the back.
- Palate
- A brief smooth start then spices and alcohol speak up. Pear and guava. Quite spicy at mid palate. With a light fizziness. Getting drier.
- Finish
- Intense,lingering. Dry and astringent.
- Comment
- The palate does not hold what the nose promises. The expected subtleness is missing.
