- Nose
- Fresh and aromatic, with lemon zest, white blossoms, wet stone and a touch of green tea. Notes of ester and cooked fruit with burnt white sugar, barley sugar and toffee. Flowers, light honey, watermelon, pear, passionfruit, and greenhouse. A whiff of fresh-baked bread. Some sherry influence with honeyed dates and fig.
- Palate
- Delicate and smooth, offering hints of light honey, vanilla, lemon infusion and soft spice. Quite full and oaky, with sweet spices creeping forward and a cereal, biscuity feel. Some port perhaps, and lots of wood. Medium-light bodied but fairly oily and clingy. Arrives with fresh bread, toffee, lemon zest and pear, with a distinct salty note, followed by floral black pepper. Sour-bitter barley sugar, green wood and juicy fruit (watermelon). Deeper earthiness, like black tea and wet tobacco leaf.
- Finish
- Soft and medium in length, with a mineral freshness and lingering citrus note. Lightly grassy in the tail. A touch premature, but nonetheless pleasant, with wood still lingering. Long, with lemon zest, pear, and juicy strawberry, touches of banana candy and bubblegum. More nutmeg, green wood and sweet tea. Sherry elements like raisin and fig.
