Nose

Closed at first, with a little prickle, this fruity number builds slowly with time. Apples, pears, plums. Olive oil and sesame. Tarragon and a hint of oud wood. A slight creaminess, too. The merest suggestion of smoke.

Palate

Black tea and bergamot, candied orange, and dried pineapple. Sultantas and a little almond.

Finish

Medium length, a little prickle, those fruity notes carry through.

Comment

Shy at first. A tiny touch of water does the trick to open this up.
