Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Oily. Sun-dried grass. Palate Sweet for a moment, then intensely peppery. Finish Lingering. Dry. Ground white pepper. Peat. Comment This bottling is much more aggressive, and drying, than I remember. What happened to the soft maltiness and apricot fruitiness?

Dave Broom Nose A lot going on here: lifted notes of lemon balm/menthol, tangerine peel over a nutty/toasty background and, as it opens in the glass, vanilla and butter. Palate Silky and well-rounded. All the aromas come through making it creamy, fruity and spicy at the same time. Lovely balance and some complexity. Finish Well-rounded, mealy. Comment Well-balanced and characterful. Worth seeking out.
