Overall
Score
8.5
Nose
Goat's cheese and honey wafers. We are back at the farm, fresh turned soil, earthy, mulch and barley stalks. Fresh dough, yeasty and cereally, multi-seed buns with mayo and Haslet slices. Herbal.
Palate
More cereal, honey-nut cornflakes and almond slices. Overtaken by huge fruit-salad. A gentle spice lurks but then gives in to tannins similar to well stewed Earl Grey tea.
Finish
Coating at first then dries pretty short and sharp.
Comment
Highly complicated with lots of layers and balanced sweetness.
