Taster

Nose: Toast with raspberry jam, for breakfast by the sea.

Palate: Almond croissants. Darjeeling tea.

Finish: A bit sandy. It's a windy day.

Comment: Not as elegant and complex as some in this flight, but the breakfast it evoked was hearty and delicious.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Rich dried fruit wafts above underlying toastiness, brioche with fruit sauce, then vanilla, créme brûlée and apple skins emerge mid-way.

Palate: Rich gingerbread, brioche, baked apples with vanilla sauce and cloves, while underlying toastiness continues with digestive biscuits.

Finish: Fruity, malty combination, toastiness lingers.

Comment: Softly spoken but plenty to say, being elegantly delicate but delivering real range.

Score: 8.3
