Nose The nose is tropical and lush with fruit (melon, stewed apple, papaya, foam banana sweets…) and perfumed with summer garden floral qualities, lavender mostly. There’s also notes of hessian in there as well as a candied sweetness from Jelly Tots and meringue, with damp oak and rock pools providing the coastal, mineral element we expect.
Palate The palate is sweet and viscous, almost syrupy, opening with more tropical fruit (lychee joining the ranks) and plenty of citrus too, orange and lemon boiled sweets mostly. It has a charred quality like the fruit has been barbecued. Honey, sauternes, black pepper, tarragon, and a little bourbon cask sweetness add depth.
Finish The same medley of fruit that appeared throughout slowly dissipates among beach bonfire embers.
