Tasting Notes

Aroma- Baked summer fruit pudding, Cedar wood/cigar box, smoky jam tarts, oak tannins, truffles. With water an intense bitter cherry scent, a curious salty/savoury note, and then some lovely, perfumed violet notes.

Palate – A velvety/mouth furring texture leads into delicious symphony of contrasting flavours savory & sweet and the same time. Aniseed & soot, summer fruits (cherries, strawberry’s, apricots and pears), pastry/cake mix, dark chocolate, coffee and more bitter cherries and almond.

Finish – A long lingering sooty finish.
