Nose: Loads of Christmas cake dark fruits, walnut, cinnamon custard, black peppercorn, almond, dark cherry and dried orange peel. Later on there’s more vanilla and tropical fruit notes coming through.
Palate: Almond and marzipan, red cherry, and icing sugar. Then darker fruit comes through: blackcurrant, fig and plum. There’s also a prickly sweet spice. With water it becomes really velvety.
Finish: Long, warm and almondy.
Overall: A Bakewell Tart in a glass.
