Wonderful stuff, like eating a peach in a room where someone has smoked a Havana the night before.

Taster
Nose: Autumnal leaf mulch, distant bonfires, damp peat moss and fresh ploughed fields. Then some fruits start to emerge, tinned strawberries and over ripe blood peaches.
Palate: The nose carries on with sweetness of strawberry syrup and toasted oak giving vanilla and coconut. Fresh pruned tomato plants and green salad.
Finish: Slowly dries with oat cakes and a little zip of citrus.
Comment: Wonderful stuff, like eating a peach in a room where someone has smoked a Havana the night before.
Score: 8.7
Taster
Nose: Watermelon, chargrilled mango flesh, passionfruit and pomegranate. A warm creaminess appears with, milky porridge and apricot jam. Pistachio marshmallows. Coconut ice cream. Delightful.
Palate: The fruity aromas dominate with the added addition of nutty tones of cedar wood, peanut butter and an almond milk latte. Then butterscotch tablet and peppermint Edinburgh rock.
Finish: What a nut! Herbaceous touches with a minty finish.
Comment: A tropical explosion and a total nutcracker.
Score: 8.5
