Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intense. Rich. Toffee apple, sticky toffee pudding. Oak is well integrated. Dates and figs.

Palate: Satin like. Oily but not cloying. Toffee, chocolate, cappuccino parfait. Outburst on spices. Minty liquorice at the back.

Finish: Long, drying on oaky tones. A touch of brazil nut.

Comment: A very satisfying afterdinner dram.

Score: 8.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Mature and elegant with a beautiful exotic fragrance. Light resin, date, ginger, Turkish Delight.

Palate: Unctuous with a slow release of flavours. Allspice and cinnamon all the way. Baked pineapple, mint. Superb balance.

Finish: A dusting of rose petals.

Comment: Magnificent, but I hate to think of the price!

Score: 9.3
