TASTE NOTES

"Light gold with oils that grip & legs that slowly meander down the glass. It reminds me of waiting to eat a rhubarb & apple tart fresh from the oven with custard & cream to hand. A gentle clove to start that leads into proving bread & malted biscuits, in the middle a pepperiness that travels back my tongue then honeydew melon & pears. It doesn't finish, it meanders along like a tributary to the start of a great river."
