Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Soft smoke. The burnt skin of some chestnuts roasting.

Palate: Rich, smooth, luxurious. A whole box of liqueur chocolates concentrated into my tasting glass. Dark chocolate, variously filled with coffee and cherry liqueurs. Perhaps even peppermint.

Finish: Sappy, oaky, dryness.

Comment: A stunning farewell performance.

Score: 9

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fragrant wood (rosewood?) incense/musk, rancio, cheese rind, sweet and rum-like, toffee apple. Perfumed.

Palate: Starts very concentrated and sweet. Treacle scones, bung cloth, humidor, then firm wood starts to dominate. Grippy.

Finish: Treacle toffee, tannic.

Comment: A wonderful nose but too woody for me.

Score: 7.8
