Tasting Notes
Aromas of overripe bananas, pears and marzipan combined with fragrant notes of honeysuckle, cherry blossom and lavender, before lemon sponge cake was served with creamy custard. Vanilla continued on to the palate to be joined by glacé cherries, fudge and sugared almonds, plus tongue-tingling wasabi and lemon sherbet. Adding water released rich tea biscuits dusted with icing sugar while a wave of cherry, raspberry and strawberry sweets collided with Turkish delight. Thick custard returned on the palate alongside dried apple, tangerine and more banana, before the spice of mace settled on to a dry yet lively finish.
