- Nose
- Ginger snaps, dried autumn leaves, mixed peel, icing sugar, rich marmalade, barley sugar. A faint wisp of smoke in the background. Elegant and pungent at the same time. Raspberry and damson jam, developing hawthorn, faint hazelnuts and exotic fruit: tinned peaches, strawberries, pineapple syrup, fresh mango, shortbread, golden syrup, oatcakes, honeyed flapjacks.
- Palate
- Medium-weight, with a very elegant delicacy. Strong oak binding nuts, sweetness, marmalade, fruit and bakery notes, with cooked apple, balsamico, grapefruit and even sherry trifle flavours. Assertive pepper, with delicious notes of polished wood and old bookshops.
- Finish
- Not particularly long, but spectacularly pretty nonetheless. Tastebuds tingling.
