Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Sweet slightly peppery oak, rock candy, cocoa. Has age. Lightly oily with scented wood and plenty of sweet-hearted spirit to balance. Tickle of smoke.
- Palate
- Meaty, charred wood. Musky and intriguing. Deep sweet black fruits with a touch of liquorice bed it down in the middle of the tongue. Good length.
- Finish
- Mixing fragrance, light smoke and deep oak.
- Comment
- Big but balanced. Shows complexity.
Martine Nouet
85- Nose
- Warm, rich, deep. Prickly. Damson jam. Blackcurrant. Orange caramel. Freshly brewed coffee. Needs time to release all its richness.
- Palate
- Velvety, almost syrupy, smooth at start then a spicy burst (fresh grated ginger) which dries up the mouth.
- Finish
- Dry, spicy, oaky. A sweet malty touch in the back.
- Comment
- A warm expression of sherry. Quite sensuous if not fiery. Rich and deep.
