Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Orange flower water. Soft. Honey-sweet.
Palate
Marshmallow-like. Cereal grain. Cream. Orange peels.
Finish
Faintly smoky dryness.
Comment
Seemed a little lighter all round than I remember.

Dave Broom

Nose
Gentle, discreet even. Raisin bread/pannetone, apple, light honey, peach. Toasty, lively.
Palate
Delicate with soft layers of flavour. Wood gives a good frame for the light gentle honeyed fruit. Very light.
Finish
Long, slowly fading fruits.
Comment
Understated, just a bit shy.
