Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sweetish, creamy, herbal, winey. Palate Smooth, sweet. Soft berry fruits. Prunes. Lots of flavour development. Becoming spicy, with cinnamon and later ginger. Finish Figs in cream. Green peppercorns. Very long. Comment As the glass sits on my desk, aromas and flavours slowly emerge, I like it more and more, but I suspect it will always be overshadowed by last year’s Côte de Nuits.

Dave Broom Nose Sweet and softly elegant. Fresh herbs (thyme), orange, bread with a hint of charred wood in background. Palate Quite dry. Plenty of wood with soft fruit mid-palate. Char. Finish Soft. Comment Liqueur style. Good balance.
