Tasting Notes

Nose

Rooty, then peach, fruit salad. Hot rocks. With water becomes hugely perfumed, lavender, then camomile blossom. Bizarre.

Palate

Immediate hit of marzipan, then angelica. Almost off-puttingly confected. A scented boudoir.

Finish

Camomile tea with a touch of echinacea.

Comment

Bonkers stuff.
