Description
From the first sniff we were transported back to old-school flavours, with fascinating twists and turns. The sweetness of spun sugar, candied hazelnuts and pineapple wheels rolled in icing sugar merged with fresh pine, olive oil and old hessian sacks. The palate emerged with a green grass demeanor, swaying through dried hay, before heading towards pear juice, sweet tea and tobacco. A little water filled the hessian sacks with coal dust and memories of smoke. Then orange blossom and quince jelly brought the fruit alongside dried beech leaves and black cardamom. Finally, fragrant heather appeared with pears poached in white port and a little walnut oil.
