The sweet, fruity nose offered enticements of danish pastries (with apricot and custard), ripe melon, banana toffee, candied pineapple and clover honey. The palate had sweet, sticky madeira molasses cake; chocolate, hazelnut and nougat caramel cups; cloudy apple juice with elderflower and, eventually, after-tingles of oak, crystallised ginger and peppermint.
