Quite a complex character for its age. The palate is well-structured, just a little too woodframed.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Elegant, mouthwatering. Praline ice cream. Turkish delight. A hint of exotic fruit. Mango. Spicy carrot cake.

Palate: Rich, fruity at start. A certain austerity. Oak is more present than on the nose.

Finish: Fades away slowly. Retains a delicate fruitiness.

Comment: Quite a complex character for its age. The palate is well-structured, just a little too woodframed.

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Masses of sweet oak: cocoa, hot butter, taffy, chocolate ganash and some light cherry notes. Some cereal alongside polished oak and nuts.

Palate: Excellent layering effect. Flows across the palate: creamy and smooth, hot gorse and very chewy.

Finish: Red and black fruits.

Comment: There's masses of oak here, but it has real sweet-hearted charm.

Score: 8
