80- Nose
- Set honey. Fragrant.
- Palate
- Minty. First peppermint creams, then leafy garden mint.
- Finish
- Bitter chocolate.
- Comment
- Sophisticated flavours in a delicate structure. Like elaborate petits-fours.

75- Nose
- Creamy porridge with honey, then baked apples and apricots take over.
- Palate
- Luscious, syrupy texture with nuances of digestive biscuits, thick set honey, créme brûlée, gingerbread and dried fruit.
- Finish
- Digestive biscuit dryness and créme brûlée sweetness, with a final flourish of dried fruit.
- Comment
- A mellow character with integrated flavours rather than an individual sequence.
