Tasting Notes

The nose began with the scent of a boat builder’s workshop and the warm, sanded oak of a ship’s hull being prepared for the open sea. Black cardamom, honey and sweet popcorn were followed by smoky pears and butterscotch, carrying the essence of a summer drought on a heather moor. The maritime breeze brought sea air and a dark, estery note of blackcurrant jam. The palate was sweet and tooth-coating, with smoked pink grapefruit zest, pear juice and honey-glazed lobster. Water revealed toffee apples, lemon-dressed prawns and a finish of thick vanilla sponge cake, anchoring the experience in elegant depth.
