Tasting Notes
Nose
Apples and pears laid on buttery brioche with a side order of sponge cake. Soft floral notes develop with gentle baking spices not far behind: nutmeg and vanilla. Hiding behind the sweeter notes are hints of spiky green herbs.
Palate
Sweet and softly spicy to start, with rich syrup and spiced sponge cake becoming fruitier as it sits on the palate. Muscat grapes build along with sweet pear, but they are balanced by growing spice. The spice is soft but dusty at first, before becoming integrated into the sweet core of the vermouth. Behind that, gentle wormwood bitterness slowly builds.
Finish
The bitterness sits at the centre of the finish, with sweet and spicy notes slowly fading.
Comment
Appropriately sweet with a thick vein of spice running through the centre. The bitterness is never far away, but is carefully balanced.
