Nose
Perfumed aromas mixed with toffee apples, dessert wine and calvados while toasted pine nut and crushed oily brazil nuts were sprinkled on to marmalade-glazed pork belly. Water released lighter aromas of caramel, mojito cocktails and grilled pineapple served with mint chocolate ice cream and menthol rub.
Palate
Rich and dark with burnt toffee, molasses and pine tar blending into maple syrup, liquorice and Christmas cake. Delicious spices now combined with rum with ginger ale, coffee and bitter marmalade.
Finish
Burnt fruitcake joined heavy wood with firm tannins on a finish that was both dry and sweet.
