| Tasting Note: Colour: salmony - at Cooley's they wrote 'antique copper'. Nose: certainly more marked by the wine at first nosing but, most curiously, less demonstrative than the Madeira. More on blackcurrant buds, apple juice, leaves, then spices such as very soft white pepper. Hints of new leather and again that farmyard after the rain. Rather inoffensive and not as talkative as the Madeira but maybe a little more elegant. Mouth: much closer to the Madeira now. Not creamy but very rich again, sweet, fruity and candied, reminding me of tawny Port indeed. We have strawberry jam (all sorts of jams actually, including cherry), then cake, then it switches to malt and candy sugar, caramelized cornflakes, honey ... I'm sorry but I like this too! Especially the finish is perfectly balanced, richer again, long, coating, sweet ... Maybe a tad decadent. Just like the Madeira, it's not complex whisky but it's dangerously drinkable, even if you're a hardcore Scotchfreak. Score - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5). (www.whiskyfun.com, March 17, 2007) |
