Description
The nose leads you to a summer rose garden where friends are passing round fruit salad chews and apple, lemon and lime-flavoured sweets; then someone goes by wafting scents of waxed jackets and tobacco snuff. The palate is viscous and chewy, with sherbet and delicious exotic fruits (Um Bongo, mango, passion-fruit, dried papaya and pineapple) but with a youthful after-burn of chilli, ginger and Extra Strong Mints. The reduced nose is full-on confectionery (peardrops, strawberry jelly beans, pineapple cubes). The palate is mellow, fruity and frankly fantastic for its age – peppered melon, lime marmalade, quince jam and a lovely warming after-glow.
