Nose

Apricots, jam tarts, cheesecake. Digestive biscuits. Buttermilk. The fresh, pudding notes fade towards green apple, cider vinegar, traces of sage and cut grass. Lovely and light stuff.

Palate

Green apples and golden syrup. Slightly acidic, with grapefruit juice, cider vinegar and citrus meaning it’s sharp. Fresher fruits return, with vanilla, and it’s much more pleasant.

Finish

Nutmeg and black pepper, with bitter tannins dominating.

Comment

Lop-sided towards the sharper end of things. Bracing stuff…
