Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Candyfloss (cotton candy). Some oxidation. Palate Sweet. Spicy. Muscovado sugar. Digestive biscuits. Finish Cedary dryness. Comment Lots of aromas and flavours, but lacks structure. Curiously flat.

Dave Broom Nose Robust. Is that a hint of Irn Bru? There's oranges stewing in a pan and an aroma reminiscent of badly maderized wine (not Madeira) slightly off-putting. Palate Dominated by wood, then maderized character reappears. Finish Flat Comment A very peculiar beast.
