Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Autumnal. Damp leaves, turned earth, chocolate truffle, hint of rancio. Barley sugar, privet.

Palate: Very smooth and silky. Good maturity. Cereal notes. Crisp, woody texture.

Finish: Short.

Comment: Another where the nose promises a lot, but the palate doesn't quite deliver.

Score: 7.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Notes of sherry, fruit, chocolate, and ginger.

Palate: Sherry, raisins, chocolate, ginger. Quite luxurious.

Finish: Unhurried, with chocolatey notes and gingery dryness.

Comment: Salient house characteristics, especially the chocolate, at their boldest and most sustained.

Score: 8.5
