Nose

Coal dust and fermenting tropical fruits. Earthy. Fruity, with slight chalkiness; like orange and lemon boiled sweets dusted with corn starch. Subtle nutmeg, walnut liqueur and hazelnut milk.

Palate

Silky mouthfeel and well integrated. A skewer of apple, pineapple, and white grape charred over coals. More walnut liqueur, hazelnut milk, sultana and quince jelly.

Finish

Gentle tannin, with more of those boiled sweets and charcoal tablets.

Comment

Eating fruit salad in a creaking old house by a coal fire.
