Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Freshly chopped pine trees. Ferns. Forest floor.
- Palate
- Dryish. Vegetal. Ground coriander. Fiddlehead ferns. Rhubarb.
- Finish
- Sea tastes: sweetness and saltiness, with the latter overwhelmingly the winner. Long.
- Comment
- More wood-extract, or sherry, than I remember. I prefer a drier expression.
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- Gutsy, citrus and oaky notes. Cracker bread/Ryvita. Water brings out orange and very malty qualities; some hessian. A touch metallic?
- Palate
- Medium sweet. There's good interplay between dry (wood/malt) and sweet fruits. Mid weight.
- Finish
- Mealy.
- Comment
- Surprisingly young for a 16 year-old.
