air Nose
excuse me, but ‘wow!’. Totally grand at first nosing, with a stunning mix of fresh oranges and olive oil plus a touch of honeydew and a first part of development on all citrus fruits on earth (tangerines first). Then it’s the smoke (peat, but also beech wood), then a fantastic minerality (flints, wet limestone), then it’s back to the fruits, more like mangos and papayas this time, then the smoke again… And finally all these coastal and medicinal elements such as seaweed, iodine, camphor and all that jazz. And lots of fresh almond milk. An absolute stunner indeed and, I believe, an excellent example of perfect bottle ageing (everything is fantastically mingled and I doubt it was like that when it was bottled)
restaurant Palate
how fabulous, this blend of citrus, wax and peat! It’s smooth and delicate yet full bodied, extremely satisfying on the palate, with again tons of fruits (mangos right away now, lemon, quince, citrons…), fruity olive oil again, my beloved argan oil, mastic flavoured sweets, earl grey tea… Okay, beware maltoporn, let’s stop this right now but what’s sure is that this is another absolute masterpiece by Signore Silvano Samaroli. 95 points (and thanks, Olivier) MUSIC – Recommended listening: in 2004 Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart (hardly artists deserving wider recognition, I know) have produced and sung part of the soundtrack to the remake of the 60's hit flick Alfie, with Jude Law.

March 13, 2007 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan SEAN ONO LENNON Bush Hall, London 4th March 2007 I can’t imagine it’s easy living permanently in the shadow of your father. Nor can it be much fun being regularly upstaged by your mother. But if you’re the son of the most famous Beatle and the woman that Britain (still) most loves to hate (or is that the estranged wife of Sir Macca, Heather Mills McCartney?) then there’s simply no point running for cover – there isn’t any. Sean Ono Lennon has just released his second album Friendly Fire (prompted by the break-up of his four-year relationship with Bijou Phillips – daughter, if you didn’t know, of the Mamas and Papas’ John Phillips), a pleasant enough piece of work, ‘though by no means as remarkable as some of the music press reviews would suggest. However its reception was mainly muted, and the fact that he’s in the middle of a punishing tour of the world – deliberately choosing small lesser-known clubs and halls rather than headlining venues has largely passed the press by. His mother however has just been lionised for her new album Yes I’m a Witch – a highly acclaimed (“a compelling argument for righting a historical wrong” said the Guardian, reflecting on some of the more harsh judgements of her musical talent)
