Nose

Blackberry jam and subtle rice wine vinegar. Rice pudding and vanilla-bean paste. Dried cherry and dark chocolate. Floral woodiness, like potpourri. Jamaican ginger cake. Coffee buttercream.

Palate

Medium. Hints of cinnamon and clove. Blackcurrant, strawberry, and raspberry. Fruitcake topped with blanched almonds. Dark chocolate-coated coffee beans. Savoury roasted chestnut.

Finish

Medium-long, on syrupy cooked plums and woody spice.

Comment

A delicious marriage of spice and fruit.
