Nose Tarte Tatin, fluffy pancakes with maple syrup, and a tangy note of underripe pear and tangerine. Dried berries and sweet oak follow in time.
Palate Golden syrup leads, joined by a scattering of pepper and nutmeg before vanilla cream and buttery sponge appear. Boozy cherries and sultanas follow, with more hearty spice to balance.
Finish Balsamic poached fruits tangle with layers of rich, woody spice, red apple, stewed tea, and sherried oak.
