Taster

Nose: Toffee and ice cream to start with, then in time it develops into rich coffee and cream. Custard and nutmeg. Sherry soaked plums. Slight BBQ pork roasting over a woodfire towards the end.

Palate: A fruity palate, strawberries, blackberries and mango. Citrus zest too. Eventually those sherry notes start to appear.

Finish: The fruit lingers before the smoke rises and takes over. It dries on the wood smoke.

Comment: Really like the way the sherry notes are integrated with the wood smoke.

Score: 8.4

Taster

Nose: Fragrant notes of basmati rice, sage leaves, prawn cocktail crisps and buttered sweetcorn followed by cranberries, sugared almonds and felt fabric.

Palate: Spice from a Thai green curry followed by soft cotton candy, unsalted butter, toffee popcorn and sharp brambles bursting at the end.

Finish: Light spice and juicy red fruits.

Comment: A very interesting blend of flavours, with highly aromatic spices.

Score: 7.8
