We agreed the nose was complex – sweet vanilla and liquorice bullets, strawberry smoothie and dusty lemon sweets; also some herbal elements and a sawmill situated in a summer meadow. The palate was sweet but sharp (icing sugar on green apples, white pepper on banana custard) with spicy heat (sweet chili chips, fiery gobstoppers, cinnamon, liquorice).

The reduced nose was a more straightforward confectionery of aromas (jelly babies, lucky bags, dolly mixtures, chocolate). The reduced palate had lost some of its heat – now fruity and sweet (jammy dodgers, gomme syrup, strawberry jam) with light spices tingling the finish.
