Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

lighter and brighter this time. The fruitiness really dominates here; all on baked apples, custard, gooseberry tart, lemon balm, honeysuckle, wildflowers and pollens. Some green banana, wax, chopped dates, muesli and sandalwood. Delicate and extremely attractive

restaurant Palate

some kind of very old chenin with this wonderful rich, honeyed oiliness. A few leaner, mineral aspects, heathery notes, camphor, tea tree oil, buttery toast and many wee green fruity notes and lemony touches. Quite terrific!

timer Finish

Good length, moving towards various teas: chamomile, mint and green, some exotic dried fruits and wood spices
