Lyndsey Gray

Taster

Nose: A fruity sensation with strawberry laces, bubble gum and meringues and are joined by notes of pineapple cubes, jasmine, roasted figs and parma violets.

Palate: An overpowering flavour of herbal mint toothpaste, which gradually dissipates into strawberry jam, double cream, Turkish delight and a rich chocolate-coffee aroma.

Finish: Slightly dusty towards the end of the palate with a minty aftertaste.

Comment: Eating breakfast just after you’ve brushed your teeth.
