A well structured old lad but it seems to have lost some vigour. The palate is still vivid but the nose is weakening

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Restrained if not bland. Pleasant fruitiness. Autumn fruit. Over-ripe pears,medlars. Almonds

Palate: Smooth,velvety. A pleasant interlace of fruit and oak,covered by a veil of softspices

Finish: Reasonably long,spicy with a nutty aftertaste

Comment: A well structured old lad but it seems to have lost some vigour. The palate is still vivid but the nose is weakening

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Quite slick and sweet. Upfront. Toffee bars. Gentle smooth and appetising with light oakiness licking at the outer edges. Fresh cigar (unlit).In time becomes more rigid and angular

Palate: Clean and nuttier than expected from such a lush nose. hazelnut. mature mellow oak. Chewy and long

Finish: Honey and caramel

Comment: Maybe lacks the extra spark that makes it complex but a delicious sweet dram nonetheless

Score: 7.8
