Nose - Savoury-sweet aromas float in: chipotle-and-maple-syrup smoked bacon, followed by chocolate covered salted caramel sweets. Ripened persimmons and a vase of fresh lilacs follow on.

Palate - Some salinity, with notes of dry roasted peanuts and cornichons. This is balanced by some tart fruitiness – that of tangerines – which leads on to comforting baking spices.

Finish - A hint of charred pineapple remains, accented by some subtle mace.
