Tasting Notes
Nose
Pineapple, passion fruit and new-car leather. Candied and jellied fruit notes develop: papaya, guava, lime, Seville orange, blood orange and nectarine. Banana and toasted spice notes build, with prominent clove notes.
Palate
The spice and bananas lead: creamy banana pie with a generous dusting of ground clove and cinnamon. The banana remains as apples and pineapples roll in. Dark and weight oily notes sneak in behind.
Finish
Cinnamon spice and sweet banana fade to reveal apple jam and mint.
Comment
Layers and layers of fruit are carefully balanced by cream and a touch of dark and dirty oiliness.
