Fiery. Lacks balance and character. Water cuts the edges but does not improve the aroma delivery.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Shy at start. Hesitate between cereal and fruit. Slightly meaty. Chicken stock. And a grassy scent. Like a\rgarden after a thunderstorm shower on a scorching hot day. A minty touch.

Palate: Flowing. Quite light bodied but assertive. Warm vanilla custard. The alcohol bite and the spicy profile give\ra tingly kick.

Finish: Quickly fading. Dry spiciness.

Comment: Fiery. Lacks balance and character. Water cuts the edges but does not improve the aroma delivery.

Score: 7

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Waxy with charcoal,stewed pear,XV olive oil,baked bread,burnt stick (smoke),nuts. Complex.

Palate: Slightly lacking initially on the front, then immediately deepens. Very oily and rich. Orange zest gives much needed balancing energy .

Finish: Robust and smoky with black pepper and liquorice.

Comment: Appetising and generous.

Score: 7.9
