Michael Jackson
82- Nose
- Fruity (cherryish? Or am I being suggestible? It does have a dark amber colour).
- Palate
- Malty but thin. Tastes like fruity herb bitters.
- Finish
- Very slight. Cough sweets.
- Comment
- Not much evidence of alcohol. Elegant but frail. Doesn't approach the 1948 I tasted a few years ago.
Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Very unusual. Almost animal. Beefy, oxtail soup aromas. After a while, becomes earthy and musty, and later on, some sweet aromas break through (toffee, a touch of vanilla).
- Palate
- Sour and tangy citrus fruit notes. Overripe pear. Passion fruit. Nice chocomint taste behind.
- Finish
- Dry, warm and bitter.
- Comment
- Very unusual but interesting. Wood leaves a heavy imprint on malty aromas. Water is a real killer with this one.
