starts much yeastier, on cooked yoghurt and muesli, getting then very nicely fruity. Fresh pineapple, mirabelle plums, cooked peaches, gooseberries… A little sharper and less ‘vanilled’ but there’s also these very nice flowery notes (dandelions and all that). A very similar profile in fact, a tad more nervous and a little less balanced but I like it just the same
restaurant Palate
ah, yes, this quite punchier even if, again, not extremely bold. Maybe a little too sugarish too, with quite some candy sugar, fruit candies, over-sugared herbal tea, marshmallows… But it’s got quite some oomph, going on with some crystallised fruits, oranges, vanilla crème. A little salty and peppery, at that. Not complex but rather shippable. The finish is quite longer than the Hart Bros’ but a little sugary and indefinite again. Anyway, a nice, uncomplicated young Dailuaine. I like it a little more than the Hart Bros as it’s a little bolder. 85 points . October 27, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan JOHN HIATT AND THE NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS, Shepherds Bush Empire, London, Sunday 23rd October, 2005. What a bizarre audience for the Bush. Well heeled middle aged West Londoners, out of their comfort zone out-of-towners, marketing consultant types, IT specialists and legal eagles, groping 50 plus couples (ugh!), the big ex rugby playing bastard (a financial director I suspect) and his moll who stood unmoving in front of me all night, and loads of late teens and early twenties with their Mums and Dads. Why there was even one sad 40 year old with his mum too (he was drinking Coke, she was on the vodka). Why were they here? At one point from their frequent upward glances I thought it was to admire Frank Matcham’s sumptuous Edwardian decoration, gilded scallop shells, voluptuous cherubs and all. Then I realised they were just casting wistful glances at the congested 5/9s in the upper balconies. Could they be refugees from the late afternoon bicentennial celebrations of Our Greatest Victory in Trafalgar Square? Well no. Roughly speaking the young folks were there to see the brilliant North Mississippi Allstars , and the old ones to see the sublime (yes Serge – you can see where this one is going) John Hiatt . Luckily we were there to see them both. John Hiatt is possibly best described as one of the great should have beens of American rock music. He’s just released his
