Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Spirity. Prickly. Herbal. Jasmine tea. Cider apple. Dessert-like aromas. Ginger biscuit. Trifle. Maraschino cherry. Shortcrust pastry.
- Palate
- Firm, crisp. Good feel. Creamy. Coffee toffee. Bitter orange marmalade. Ginger.
- Finish
- Medium. Quickly fading. A bit thin. Smoked hazelnuts. Becoming astringent.
- Comment
- The nose delivers more than the palate. Once more, oak overwhelms fruit and bitterly dries the finish.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Clean and light. Gentle grated nutmeg, cumin, vellum, roasting coffee bean then into honeycomb (Crunchie bars). Rose petal.
- Palate
- A clean very honeyed palate with a crisp spice from the oak which then softens into melted chocolate.
- Finish
- A zippy lift which freshens everything. Vetiver. Sandalwood.
- Comment
- You could sit and suck on a bottle of this all day long. Worryingly drinkable.
