Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Marzipan and jam tarts. There is a nuttiness to this, cake mixture and a hint of cream.
Palate: Much bigger than the nose, plenty of dried fruits, marmalade, apple pie withcinnamon and custard.
Finish: Gentle drying oak and a little spice.
Comment: All in balance here, a great aperitif.
