Tasting Notes
This opened with a bouquet of croissants, lemon and lime peel, fruit leather and fresh strawberries. To taste, the bouquet shifted to a warm, wild Mediterranean fennel dipped in molten sugar, dusted with cardamom and poppy seeds, and served with lime cordial and strawberries. Water emphasised woody character on the nose, with a bale of wet twigs drizzled with evaporated milk, raisins, pine resin and stewed apple. The palate finished sweeter, as though a spoonful of brown sugar had been stirred into the dram, joined by baked orange, huckleberry, chilli flakes and nutmeg.
