Drawn from a French oak barrique this has an inviting colour of copper. On the nose we found toffee apples, top of a crème brulée, potpourri, scented candles and rum & raisin ice-cream – quite perfumed. The palate is big with even bigger mouthfeel of kirsch, parma violets, nectarines and posh home-made marmalade. The finish is long, sweet and satisfying.
