Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Less obviously smoky than the Bordeaux finish. More perfumy. Drier. Dried fruit?
Palate
Smooth, light on the tongue. Develops some fruitiness.
Finish
Spicier. More lively. Seems crisp at first, but lingers very warmly, with late brown sugar and salt.
Comment
Port often leaves a toffeeish note, but not in this case. Perhaps needs a bit more maturity.

Jim Murray

Nose
Light and juicy, the peat is little more than a distant echo. Sweet malt adds weight, but not much.
Palate
Much more peat on the early arrival, several layers of oak and then a brilliant rush of fruit and then more clean peat and a wave of spice.
Finish
Medium length but remains clean, crisp and softly peated.
Comment
Really impressive balance and complexity. Very laid-back and understated. Great stuff.
