Flavour Profile: Nose
Lemon peel, rhubarb & custard approach with developing hints of aged leather & sandalwood. Excitingly peaty with juicy notes of caramelised fruit & caramel starting to come through.
Flavour Profile: Palate
Sun ripened fruit underlies a chai like spice medley. Honey is evident as is black pepper, vanilla & oak.
Flavour Profile: Finish
A beautifully elegant finish. Sweetness, smokiness & spice lingers against a gentle citrus tart.
