Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Mint toffee. Fudge. Palate Mint toffees again. Dark fudge. Candied prunes. Finish Some astringency. Lots of alcohol. The two seem to round each other into one big punch (of the pugilistic type). Comment Ideal for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If you don't like your in-laws or the television, knock yourself out after dinner.

Dave Broom Nose Enormous! Darker, sweeter and richer than all the others put together. Marmalade, sugar candy, orange liqeur chocolates. Sultry. Palate Sufficient spiciness and structure to balance the huge waves of sweetness. Orange again. Shows complexity. Finish Long and sweet. Lingering. Comment A sweet mother for ya!
