Description
Initial nosing revealed toffee, condensed milk, banoffee pie, tobacco leaf, kumquat and watermelon. Then, behind that, came a clump of richly fruity Dundee cake and some freshly baked white bread. Water revealed walnut whip, hazelnut liqueur, hessian and salted honey cashew nuts. The neat palate displayed a lovely dark fruit character, with fig rolls, brandy snaps, toasted hot cross buns and raspberry coulis all noted. Reduction delivered complex suggestions of medium-dry white wines, crystallised honey, rich custard made with sauternes, baked apple, crushed walnuts and sunflower oil.
