Dave Broom
- Nose
- High intensity.Oils,perfumed smoke, coconut,temple notes along with plum,rose, spearmint. It all calms down with time bringing out curry leaf, sweet fruits and barley sugar.
- Palate
- Immediate gripping acidity. Big smoke reveals itself alongside some rhubarb like sootiness.In time tar and pitch,the earthy/dry leaf note before menthol. Needs water to soften things and even then the fruit is all balled up in the centre on the tongue.
- Finish
- Long and intense.
- Comment
- A magnificent mouthful.
Rob Allanson
- Nose
- Very powerful nose,masses of incense with dark fruit and delicate floral notes. Rolls of smoke turn into leaf mulch and open humidors. There is a slightly tart edge, like plum skins, as well.
- Palate
- Huge in the mouth with loads of grips. The smoke is here but with a burnt plum crumble note,a little mint at the end. There is a sweetness at work here too.
- Finish
- Just keeps going.
- Comment
- A big hefty thing,with a whack of incense.
