Nose: Through aromatic cinnamon and earthy herbs – basil and thyme – there’s warm citrus from orange peel and cardamom as well as refined, pine-y juniper and additional floral touches.
Palate: The palate has a wonderfully rich mouthfeel. More baking spice emerges among a waft of orange blossom, lemon peel and a warm honey-esque sweetness. Bittersweet earth and garden herb notes are prominent throughout.
Finish: It’s a peppery, piney and long finish, with a sprig of rosemary thrown in for good measure.
Overall: Pretty darn excellent – if we do say so ourselves...
