"Golden syrup cake with liquorice, spices and honeysuckle. Aromatic apple and blossom notes with a balance of sourness and toffee. Deeply complex with a long finish."

“The bouquet is austere and leathery with curious aromas of beeswax, vegetable oil and oaky resin. Palate entry is focused on the resin; midpalate is splendidly multilayered and offers elements of black pepper, dried orange blossom, honeysuckle, dried fruit, sage, fennel and confections. Aftertaste is deep and unabashedly sweet and honeyed.”
