Tasting Notes

Initially we felt like opening a jar of tomato and basil chutney made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ginger and brown sugar. Given time the sweetness of a Finnish cinnamon roll called korvapuusti (which translates as “slapped ears”) appeared. We certainly found cinnamon on the palate. Combining this with tea tree oil, hibiscus tea and heather honey and sure enough we had a delicious proposal. Following dilution, we found freshly baked pumpernickel bread and blueberry scones on the nose before we enjoyed a glass of sweet vermouth as well as banana tarte tatin served with nutmeg ice cream.
