87- Nose
- Warm, welcoming, appetising. The bakery aromas of Sunday brunch.
- Palate
- Pancakes. Cornbread. Buttered corn. Peach cobbler. Pecan pie. Pints of vanilla ice cream with butterscotch sauce, garnished with sprigs of fresh mint.
- Finish
- A hint of soft, leafy, balancing dryness.
- Comment
- At an ‘all you can eat' buffet in Chicago, a woman piling her plate said to me: “isn't this sinful?” This is temptation in a bottle.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- The first impression is butter, then fresh baking, toasted crumpet followed by light red fruit (cherry) and allspice. Gentle, with a tricksy quality, lemon meringue lifted by a subtle spiciness. Very clean and well defined.
- Palate
- Gentle then a tingle of fresh planed oak. Reminiscent of melted rock candy with a hint of toffee and a menthol note. Very fine.
- Finish
- Long, spicy.
- Comment
- A stunning glass, gentle yet exotic.
