Delicate tongue dance

The nose had heather honey and dessert wine sweetness, but also nice touches of exotic wood (a laurel hedge, gorse flowers, sandalwood, hessian, pencil boxes and calligraphy ink sticks). On the palate, we loved the textures and the curious counterbalance between sweet fruits (orange fondants, tinned pears, tutti frutti ice cream) on one hand and white pepper, tobacco, rosemary, mint tea and eucalyptus on the other. The reduced nose found waxed canvas and wheat beer, butterscotch, banana smoothie and cream soda. The palate, now creamy and mouth-coating, danced delicately on our tongues with waxy fruits and putty, frozen yoghurt and lemon sherbet.
