Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Sweet, fruity and estery: brown sugar, mashed banana, orange peel, maraschino cherry juice, dried mango. Oak-softening with water.

Palate: Thick, sweet, chewy and liquorous. Cooked fruits, creamy custard. Complex and teasing.

Finish: Sweet. Rosehip.

Comment: A resounding success. Would make a great, if expensive, Rob Roy.

Score: 8.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Deep, fruity, toffeeish.

Palate: Clotted cream. Cinnamon. Spicy. Liquorice. Rooty. Nutty. Developing dry fruitiness. Very long.

Finish: Yet further length. The flavours concentrate in a winey, spicy, warming \"cough syrup\".

Comment: Perhaps more robust, less elegant, than the previous bottling, but full of flavour and soundly structured.

Score: 8.8
