Description
We grabbed a classic waiter's friend corkscrew and opened a bottle of single vintage bordeaux white wine. The aroma that greeted us was that of a soft, creamy fruitiness with hints of toffee and vanilla, plus hints of toasted oak in the background. On the palate there were spiced banana chocolate sundaes as well as spiced banana and walnut pies. Following careful reduction, a refreshing peppermint tea was served at first before we discovered coconut and lime jellies and lemon verbena ice cream over poached pears. The taste was that of a cup of kindness - hot chocolate made with almonds, agave nectar, a cinnamon stick, a few cardamom pods and a couple of slices of fresh ginger.
