Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fragrant. Herbal. Palate Silky. Soft and embraceable but reluctant to yield its secrets. Orange blossom. Absinthe. Finish Dryness and sweetness tightly combined. Thyme. Still teasing. Long. Comment At this age, more complex and elegant than ever. No obvious sherry.

Dave Broom Nose Orange peel, smoke, light leather, burnt toast, plum. Has depth and at the same time is very precise. Palate Medium-bodied. Smoky, cashew, floor polish, savoury notes underneath. Some deep, carbonised notes. Oaky. Finish Runny honey, acacia. Comment Complex, intriguing.
