On the nose, confectionary sweetness (marshmallow, jelly beans, coconut mushrooms, vanilla) compliments cherry pie, baked peach, ripe plum and subtle notes of curry leaf, balsa and polished furniture. The palate is sweet, tart and fruity (passion-fruit, lychee, Satsuma, lemon and lime); the finish dry and dusty, hinting at delicate wood and gentle spice. The reduced nose introduces flower meadows and orchards, but also becomes creamier – milk chews, coconut milk and cream-filled meringues. The palate is sweet and balanced – crystallised flowers, Parma violets, creamy porridge and crème brûlée, with a tart, tongue-tingling finish of orange peel, cherries, grapefruit and perfumed wood.
