Tasting Notes

Colour

full amber

air Nose

starts on some big sherry and lots of dried oranges. Develops on milk chocolate, caramel… Perfectly balanced although not ultra-complex. Very satisfying, in any case

restaurant Palate

creamy, caramelly and fruity, getting somewhat rubbery. Some notes of burnt cake, fudge and bitter orange. Long finish, with some nice notes of cooked wine. A very good one, very ‘classical’. 89 points . July 1, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW: CROSBY STILLS & NASH Hammersmith Apollo, London, Tuesday 28th June 2005 - by Nick Morgan Apparently, according to a bloke I met in my new briny local by the Thames, the Lord Nelson, this gig was organised as part of the celebrations of the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. That explains, I thought, why tickets were being promoted by the Daily Mail (who also spent the last week pumping up the Nation’s loins for this celebration of our greatest day) amongst the adverts for stair-lifts and time-share hideaways in Cyprus, and why they gave away a CS&N CD with the paper (I use the word in its loosest sense) at the weekend. And why the venue was the Hammersmith Apollo, originally named (as everyone knows) The Victory Theatre when it was built in 1805. And of course just before the gig HM the Queen & Co were conducting a review of the Fleet at Portsmouth: “Our greatest Victory over Europe ever” or some such was the Mail’s headline. In case you don’t remember Trafalgar was the one when the brave British boys, against the odds, destroyed a combined enemy fleet under the flag of, errr….well, you know who. Odd really I thought that it had come to this for these one time princes of peace and outspoken critics of injustice and oppression. But I suppose we all change as time goes by, and after all this is a band that’s heading for the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston, the Hampton Beach Casino, and the Borgata Casino Resort in Atlantic City (other visitors will include Stevie Nicks, the Moody Blues, Chicago and REO Speedwagon – ‘nuff said?). But I have to confess that I’m like much of the audience (for surely no-one can really like much they did after about 1972) – taken back by CS&N to an innocent world, captured by the naive insouciance
