Tasting Notes

Nose: Pineapple, passion fruit and new-car leather. Candied and jellied fruit notes develop papaya, guava, lime, Seville orange, blood orange and nectarine. Banana and toasted spice notes build, with prominent clove notes.

Palate: The spice and bananas lead: creamy banana pie with a generous dusting of ground clove and cinnamon. The banana remains as apples and pineapples roll in. Dark and weight oily notes sneak in behind.

Finish: Cinnamon spice and sweet banana fade to reveal apple jam and mint.

Comment: Layers and layers of fruit are carefully balanced by cream and a touch of dark and dirty oiliness.
