Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
much more sherry in this one – it’s probably from a sherry butt. So, we have old walnuts instead of fresh ones, hints of sulphur and rubber but nothing excessive, caramel, notes of rancio and huge whiffs of fresh parsley. Goes on with sultanas and crystallised oranges, flints, a little wood smoke and finally quite some grass (newly mown lawn). Not ultra-clean (the rubber) but much pleasant
restaurant Palate
soft, no rubber this time, just a nicely sherried attack on Corinth raisins, coffee, liquorice and caramel. Add to that Seville oranges and milk chocolate and you’ll have a pretty good picture. Also quite some chestnut honey (a strong one), notes of chocolate cake, black nougat… And a rather long finish on candy sugar and notes of dark rum. Simple but very good on the palate, even if HP’s character is somewhat dominated here. Good balance, nevertheless. 87 points. MUSIC – Recommended listening (blues): Mo Kauffey singing In the snow.mp3 . We had little snow here this winter, so this is aa compensation. Please buy Mo Kauffey's works. April 4, 2007 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan SEASICK STEVE The Borderline, London, March 25th, 2007 To be honest I wasn’t sure that going to see Seasick Steve , what seemed like only a few hours after walking the plank at a rumbustious Pirate Party, was necessarily a good idea. And as we groped our way down the narrow companionway into the rolling and pitching hold that doubles as the Borderline, my deepest fears were confirmed. The crowd is heaving – the gig sold out weeks ago. It’s unseasonably hot – and I’m beginning to regret taking the dawn watch. “Why do they call you Seasick Steve, Steve?” someone asked from the audience later. “Because I get sick on boats” was the laconic drawled answer. He ought to try standing where I am. Actually he does, making his way to the stage slowly through the dense crowd, playing sharp jarring riffs with his slide guitar, accepting the smiles and shoulder pats that accompany his deliberate process. Steve’s a hero – he jumped into the broad gaze of the British public when he upstaged a clutch of top-notch hipsters on Jools Holland’s New Year TV show (Lilly Allen, Amy Winehouse, Paul Weller etc.), but he’s also had some long-standing patronage from radio greats Charlie Gillet, Andy Kershaw and Joe Cushley, who’s partly responsible for this short (sold out) tour and who’s sweating his way through roadie d
