Appearance |
Clear, mid to deep golden amber. |
Aroma |
Zesty orange, vanilla, white chocolate fudge and hazelnuts with nutmeg and faint back pepper. More woody with water amplifying almond and biscuit. |
Taste |
Pear drops, dried apple, almond paste, white chocolate and black pepper. Go easy with the water but with the merest splash, fabulously rich toasted almond / amaretto notes emerge. |
Aftertaste |
Vanilla, surprisingly dry black tea tannins and lingering oaky finish after such a rich fruity palate. |
Overall |
Fruity and rich with white chocolate, pear drops and dried fruit. Balanced by black tea tannins and an oaky garnish. |
Closure: Natural cork stopper
