Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Toasty. Palate Big. Soft. Syrupy. Sweetish. Very fruity. Winey. Easily drinkable. Finish Lurking behind, and emerging gradually, restrained balancing dryness of toast and oak. Comment Seems simple at first, but then develops stylishly.

Dave Broom Nose An overwhelming array of aromas: vanilla, orange blossom, poached pear, cooked plum, membrillo, overripe fruit, maple syrup. Palate Sweet with a soft, full texture. Victoria plum, citrus oil and a malty core. Good structure. Finish Black fruits. Soft. Comment Decent balance means the finish isn't dominating. Just a bit blowsy?
