Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fresh. Briney. Lemony.

Palate: Creamy porridge with salt. Then pancakes with sugar and lemon juice.

Finish: Sherbet lemons.

Comment: Astonishingly citric.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Complex. Coconut oil, oak, wood, basil, dried orange skin, hint of smoke. With water, sultana, butter and a singed note.

Palate: Smoke again. Everything quite concentrated then leaps into life, broadening and coating the palate. Builds in complexity, then spice.

Finish: Tangerine and toast.

Comment: Contemplative.

Score: 8.3
