Michael Jackson
70- Nose
- Gently fruity, perfumy, smoky.
- Palate
- Light on the tongue. Flowery. Oat-like flavours. Some maltiness. Vanilla sweetness.
- Finish
- Light. A touch of spiciness.
- Comment
- The vinho verde colour suggests a very light whiskey, and this certainly is, in both body and flavour. This bottling seems markedly thinner than the last vintage I tasted.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Attractive, obviously young but not immature. Grassy with a touch of muesli, sweet almonds and juicy malt. Sauvignon Blanc/green rhubarb ferment notes.
- Palate
- Sweet and fresh all the way through: peaches, blossom and clover. Light nutty malt mid-palate with that winery/grapey note at the back.
- Finish
- Peaches in syrup (en regalia?) then dry cereal.
- Comment
- Hugely drinkable. Young but sweetly vibrant.
