An aromatic and rather entertaining nose we all agreed. Showing such diverse things as peach stones, wet dog, dried herbs, lemon pith and tropical bubble-gum with vanilla pods. Water brought vanilla cream cake, custard, butterscotch, maple syrup and meadow flowers with firmer hint of coconutty gorse.

The neat palate opened with pineapple crisps, orange blossom, candied pistachios, tropical fruit syrups and white peach. With water it became greener and more tart with hints of juniper, damsons, cherry schnapps and a nice waxiness in the texture.
