Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Sea air and smokiness – evocative sootiness.
- Palate
- Silky. The touch of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, is sweeter, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery.
- Finish
- Long, haughty.
- Comment
- Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Gentle and complex: orange/marmalade, sponge cake with pink icing, calfskin leather, angelica and smoke.
- Palate
- Soft and fragrant, light leathery notes then a smoky bonfire.
- Finish
- Light medicinal (Savlon/Germolene) then smoke.
- Comment
- Mellower than you'd expect but beautifully balanced.
