Tasting Notes
A bright initial display of new leather, shoe polish, copper coins, lanolin and damp earthiness. We also noted petrichor, lightly musty yellow fruits and bouillon stock. A firm, rich and surprisingly fulsome example of this make. With water we found nettles, clotted cream, vanilla fudge, Victoria sponge cake and custard doughnuts. The neat palate opened with white pepper, fennel, hessian and chamois leather. Satisfying richness of buttered toast along with notes of fig and runny honey. Reduction brought out menthol tobacco, lemon cough lozenges, putty, aniseed and gently toasty wood spices.
