Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Jam. Fruit. An apricot danish. Still at breakfast? Palate Vanilla. Cream. Bread pudding. Gentle flavours, but delivered in an intense concentration. Finish Sappy. Fresh. Oak. Bittersweet. Comment Finally made it to lunch.

Dave Broom Nose Lean and sappy. Quite intense: white pepper, powdered ginger/coriander. Softens slightly into toffee apple, toasted tea cake, cigar box. Palate Soft, syrupy feel within a pretty firm, dry structure. Serious. Finish Spices and oak. Comment Old fashioned in every sense and none the worse for that.
