Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1968년 보모어가 37년의 시간을 거치며 도달한 트로피컬 프루트의 망고, 패션푸르트, 옅은 흙내가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 41도라는 낮은 도수에서도 부드러운 코코넛과 살구 잼의 단맛이 명확하게 발전한다. 던컨 테일러의 레어 올드 시리즈가 보존한 60년대 아일라 특유의 과실 캐릭터가 균형 잡혀 있으며 피트는 거의 흔적만 남은 채 향수처럼 잠겨 있다. 피니시는 길고 부드럽게 이어지며 살짝 베이크된 흙내와 트로피컬 톤이 입천장에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very similar ‘of course’, a tad more on vanilla and caramel and maybe a little less fresh… Less lemony and more on gooseberries and strawberries, and also spicier and woodier (quite some pepper and ginger). Hints of lavender and violets, as well as heather again. Maybe a little less ‘easy’
restaurant Palate
more nervous than the ‘NC’, and also sharper now. I liked its sibling’s nose a little better but this is much, much better on the palate. Lots of vivacity, on starting on lemon and grapefruit juice, fructose, fruit Jell-o, bubblegum… Notes of nougat and praline, candied angelica, Sevilla oranges… Good, very good if not too complex. A little liquorice as well, orange marmalade… And the finish is rather long this time, compact, on pineapple, grapefruit and candy sugar as well as a little salt. Good-good! 86 points . June 6, 2006 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan RODDY FRAME Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, June 2nd, 2006 It’s a warm Friday night in London, and the Bush is strangely only half full. The restive audience chat their way through support Martha Tilston’s set, and become even noisier during the interval. With a single microphone stand up front and in the middle it looks like a big old stage, and I’m beginning to wonder how anyone can really fill it just by themselves, let alone command the attention of this increasingly boisterous bunch. I shouldn’t have worried. From the moment Roddy Frame walks on stage he has the audience in the palm of his hand – at times the quiet is astonishing (during a very hushed lull between songs a fan shouts out, earning the rebuke “Look man, can’t you just enjoy the silence, it’s beautiful man”). Frame calms down a fight at the front of the crowd, takes a love poem from an outstretched hand, begins to read it, begins to critique it (“one blue would have been enough man”) and then refuses to finish it – “just buy her something expensive man”. He tells a wonderful joke about nut roasts, and a familiar apocryphal Glaswegian story about knife wounds. Altogether he’s engaged and engaging, and when, right at the end of the show he says “I’ve had a lovely time playing for you” you know it’s true. You almost felt you could have been sitting at home with Roddy on the sofa playing and chatting while his pal the wonderful Edwyn Collins (who was
