Tasting Notes

Nose: A medley of flavours from raison and bursting currants, intertwine oak and subtle clove, concealing smooth sweet lavender.

Palate: A modern classic fruit fusion of tart grape skin, mandarin and fig flow together with vibrant oak to coat the mouth with a delicate oil and honeyed sweetness.

Finish: Almonds, long strong finish- unmistakable.
