Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Sweet and fragrant. Demerara sugar. Melon. Grapefruit. A touch exotic fruit. Pineapple. Then develops on fresh oak and cedar.
Palate: Mellow. Velvety. Releases more wood notes than on the nose. Resin.
Finish: A little biting. Long. After Eight mint chocolate.
Comment: On the sweet side, although the finish brings out a more assertive note. A good winter warmer.
