Waltzing through flower meadows and hay fields, our rapturous rustic noses eventually discovered orchard fruits, tinned peaches and fruit pastilles. The palate was tingling and refreshing, with impressions of sherbet lemons, orange marmalade, Buck's Fizz, pear and apple chutney, lychees and jelly sweets, before a finish of ginger and lime.

The reduced nose gave us Turkish Delight, custard tarts, white grapes and oranges and lemons in a woven basket. The palate now seemed softer, still floral and fennel-ish, but the fruit sang the loudest, with rhubarb, raspberry, peaches, pears and bubble gum; finishing with white pepper, anise and citrus.
