Tasting Notes
Limited to 2 bottles per member
The nose was initially surprisingly soft and easy going, front-loaded as it was with banana bread studded with sultanas, then porridge with golden syrup stirred through and a drizzle of flower honey. Further gentle aromas of sandalwood, melon, rosewater, a wee rising note of hessian and white pepper at the back adding firmness and backbone. Water unveiled clover, olive oil, trampled grasses, petrichor and milk bottle sweets. Easy, natural and extremely attractive. Some lovely notes of herbal teas, pollens and malt loaf. The palate was very sweet upon arrival. Lots of fruit salad gloop, runny honey, cornflakes dusted with icing sugar and various glazed fruits. Some pear drops melting in a hot copper pan. Water brought 1990s sherbet Dip Dabs, stem ginger in syrup, sweetened fruit teas and mid-aged calvados. A real treat!
