Tasting Notes
Unassuming and sophisticated, the nose offered yellow lemon-scented roses, jujubes, sugar-rolled fruit jellies with liquid centres, grapefruit and pineapple pop, honeycomb and a cornflower meadow. The palate was fruity, floral and friendly with faint fizz; refreshers, a Bellini, gummy chews, dolly mixtures and parma violets, with a tangy rhubarb finish. The confectionery theme continued on the reduced nose – candy corns, nougat and rainbow drops – plus apple pie, pear drops and a day at the beach (sun lotion, ice cream with raspberry sauce, beach balls, buckets and spades). After a Swiss roll and boiled sweets beginning, the palate developed a curious finishing twist of cinnamon sticks, old wood and boudoir perfumes.
