That dance might have been led by Fred Astaire. The great all-rounder in lean and energetic mood. Makes it look easy. Try it with a late-night movie.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Smoke, shading into oak and sherry.

Palate: Notably creamy. Distinctively fruity. Honeyed. Very spicy. Herbal. Faint hint of seaweed.

Finish: Lively. As though all the flavours had come on stage to dance a finale.

Comment: That dance might have been led by Fred Astaire. The great all-rounder in lean and energetic mood. Makes it look easy. Try it with a late-night movie.

Score: 9

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Rich, soft. Gorgeous: fudge with peaches in syrup, honey, baklava, star anise and caraway spice. Heathery smoke. You could nose this forever

Palate: Big, sweet, silky. A beautiful, elegant mix of heathery smoke, Moroccan spices, ripe fruit and a hint of chocolate. Perfect harmony.

Finish: Chewy, long.

Comment: Gorgeous, one of the best I've ever tried.

Score: 9.3
