Tasting Notes

Drops of lemon and lavender oil landed on straw bales dusted with icing sugar and double cream. Tangerine then joined the palate, as too did nutmeg and more cream. Water offered to enhance the sweetness of the nose, adding ripe banana, pine resin, aniseed balls and pear. The palate remained predominantly sweet, although now with some black tea bitterness and a white pepper that fades reassuringly quickly to finish with linseed oil and white chocolate.
