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.
