Nose
Classic fruit cake, but said cake has been stored in a tin of chocolates, taking on toffee, vanilla fudge, caramel and The Purple One. Plenty of toasted nuts, raspberries and some date syrup too.
Palate
A fabulously chewy texture. This is both earthy and fruity, with forest oor and coffee granules mixing with orange and lemon oils, raspberries and dates. Toffee balances the earthiness.
Finish
Chocolate-covered whole hazelnuts and warming paprika.
Comment
A chocolate tin at Christmas... to be enjoyed all year-round.
