The initial nose was sweet – marzipan, orange fondant, barley sugars and iced buns – we also found peppercorns and aniseed balls, parquet flooring, polished saddles and tobacco leaf. The neat palate was sweet and fruity with some light spice – orange and lemon hard-boiled sweets, Old English spangles, watermelon, amaretti biscuits and spiced honey; white pepper and chilli to finish. The reduced nose discovered macerated cherries, apricots and fruity white wine, hyacinths and honey on a sunny oak table. The palate paraded tangy citrus, pineapple humps, apple juice and sour cherries; to finish, deeper currents of Sobranie cigarettes, nutmeg, leather and oak.
