Treasure trove of orange and clove

Delightful aromas of tangerines, carnations and toffee blended with honeycomb, cherry-scented pipe tobacco and oily hints of petrol. The palate, however, embraced ginger biscuits, salted caramel ice cream and violet-flavoured sweets topped with dark chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg and singed orange skin. Adding water unveiled Chinese five spice on hot cross buns with sultanas soaked in rum and wisps of meadow flowers and pine tress. An inviting palate retained lovely flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves but now with apple tea, dried banana chips and lemon sponge cake. With time orange bitters emerged amid mature oak and fine tannins on the finish.
