NOSE Beeswax, honey, café au lait and buttered brioche – a French breakfast? Apples, pear drops, floral honeysuckle and a touch of orange on the side (the 5-a-day element perhaps).
PALATE Sweet and rich with an oily mouthfeel. A good balance of polished oak and orchard fruit, along with some brulée sugar and gooey caramel.
FINISH Apple, grainy pear, wood polish, some dark chocolate and a not unpleasant hint of cardboard.
COMMENTS Sweet but balanced by both fruit and wood.
