Nose

Quite closed, though there’s a crunchy maltiness that never quite gives way to the promising tropical fruit beneath. Given time it expands into Werther’s Original toffee candies and creamy porridge.

Palate

Syrupy sweet with fleshy papaya and mango coulis. Bitter lemon rind and peppery spice build in the middle alongside toasted oak chips and milk chocolate too.

Finish

Pencil shavings that have been dropped in the fruit salad.

Comment

Shy yet powerful. There are hints of greatness here.
