Nose

Fresh mountain air, violets and candied orange peel morph into toffees and dark chocolate.

Palate

Lovely silky texture, which turns chewy with water. Candied orange peel up front, overtaken by serrano ham flavour, which is great. Hit of dried fennel and caraway seeds.

Finish

Fennel seeds linger with a chocolate note coming through.

Comment

Lots to love, but the anise-y seeds knock points unfortunately – they don’t quite sit comfortably with the rest.
