Tasting Notes

We thought this an interesting nose, and quite fresh also – rum-soaked vanilla, poached pears, sugared cornflakes and lifting a beehive lid (wood, wax, honey and secrecy). The neat palate had a mouth-reverberating intensity of set blossom honey, pears, plums and candy-coated liquorice, with a dry, woody finish of pepper, nutmeg, ginger and clean leather. With water, the nose discovered polished floorboards and a new car smell, dried banana chips, bergamot and peach schnapps. The palate was slightly tongue numbing, with toasted pineapple, cinnamon, oak and grappa matured in acacia wood; then a finish of lemon rind and liquorice.
