The nose is as dour as the palate is vibrant and full of life. Very strange.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Oaky. Damp cider cellar. Moss,wet walnut. Coffee must. Wood is overwhelming. Shines a little with water. Orange curd.

Palate: Crisp,much brighter than the nose. There's life here. Cooked plums. A rich spicy character which teases the tongue without burning.

Finish: Dry,spicy,malty.

Comment: The nose is as dour as the palate is vibrant and full of life. Very strange.

Score: 7.6

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Concentrated with big,masculine, musky notes. Darjeeling tea,resin and perfumed wood. In time a heathery smokiness,burning tarry wood,hint of tamarind and a little firework.

Palate: Big,drying and smoky. Sesame oil. The sulphury note comes through with\rwater,so I'd go for it neat.

Finish: Long and spicy.

Comment: An intense flavour package.

Score: 8
