Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Quite a special nose with plum pudding, sooty coal fire, sweetness of toffee and orange zest.

Palate: Oatmeal biscuits, marmalade, dark chocolate and creamy toffee fudge. Oranges and brandy snaps emerge.

Finish: Chocolate ganache, medium with salted pistachios and a little sweetness.
