Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very dry smoky phenols. Palate Lightly oily. Firm. Then exploding with dry, peppery flavours. Finish Warming, digestif. Comment Confident. Slightly austere.

Marcin Miller Nose Attractive and harmonious. Lavender. More bed lined when reduced. Creamy. Palate Peanuts (with skin on), soft mocha and chocolate. Pistachio nuts. Finish Pistachio ice cream. Good length. Comment Good complexity, weight and mouthfeel but lacking balance.
