Nose Juicy green apples open things up, joined by soft peaches and apricots, dusted with icing sugar. Creamy, tangy notes of gooseberry fool lead to vanilla shortbread, toasted hazelnuts, fresh oak, and a hint of creamy lemon sorbet.
Palate Soft, juicy stone fruits, summer fruits, and thick, gloopy toffee cushion a powdering of peppery heat and robust oak, while candied nuts and drying spice tangle in the depths. Cooked apple pastries join, with a tickle of candied ginger.
Finish Oaken vanilla, peppercorns, salted fudge, and drying sherry linger for an overall sweet, and softly creamy finish.
