Odontal Dionysian dancing

The nose presented raspberry and strawberry flans and pastries in a pâtisserie; plus melon, lime peel, demerara and sunshine on golden cornfields. The palate combined forward sweetness with shy and retiring spice – ‘lucky tatties’ (cinnamon-dusted hard fondant) and hot cross buns, fruit loaf, rum baba, figs and dates; then coconut and mango. Water brought stewed apples with clove to the nose, along with lemon curd, rhubarb rock and hints of polished wood. Dilution freshened the palate to give us tangy fruit chews, damson, bramble and orange blossom honey – all in all, clean, lively, citric flavours with pleasing textures.
