Professional reviews

Serge Valentin (87)

I’m glad I kept this little baby, looks like the 1980s are now extinct. Colour: deep gold. Nose: similar territories, with cakes everywhere and assorted beverages. Tea at the Balmoral (just much better and much less dusty). Brownies, walnut cake, chestnut honey (I’m always quoting chestnut because it’s one of the strongest, the most balsamic, and the best of honeys in my book). And toasts, naturally. Very lovely. Mouth: all in keeping with the nose, word for word, except that there would be many more oak spices. Big cinnamon and strong green tea, crunching some pine needle... Finish: long, a little tea-ish. Comments: I would say old age started to show a wee bit on the palate, but the nose was fantastic.
