Description
First sniff was like opening an expensive box of milk chocolates – an assortment with caramel, orange, nuts and much more. The palate was a friendly arm wrestle between the intense sweetness of rocky road, maraschino cherries, melon and liquorice allsorts and earthier elements of burnt toast, coffee beans, clove rock, mace, ginger snaps and something slightly medicinal. The reduced nose took us into a greenhouse to take in the wooden floor, fresh potting compost and various floral notes, but we also found toffee popcorn, lemon curd and toasted marshmallows. The palate seemed fresher and more approachable, delivering toffee bonbons, iced caramels, white chocolate mice and poached pear.
