Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Unreduced there's some coconut along with meaty notes. When water is added out come toasted nuts, orange blossom, butter and real sexy richness.

Palate: A lovely start which builds slowly from digestive biscuit into a soft juicy centre with vanilla, mocha, tobacco and not bracken notes.

Finish: Juicy and creamy with good weight.

Comment: If this were a person it would be Salma Hayek.

Score: 8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Richer aromas. Spicier. Appetising.

Palate: Bigger, softer. Again a suggestion of cherries. Rose-hip tea. Spicy balancing dryness.

Finish: Smoother. Very long. A fragrant, lightly smoky, hint of peat.

Comment: Still on the sweet side but dexterously balanced. Beautifully rounded flavours.

Score: 8.5
