Rob

Nose: Warm leather car seats, sticks of bubblegum and a little cinnamon spice. Big Red chewing gum. Herbal sweets, liquorice and meadowsweet flowers. Oatcakes. Leather and saddle soap.

Palate: Malty, Assam tea, hints of range, melon slices, walnut skins and buttered brown bread. Cherry jam, Christingle oranges and cloves.

Finish: Short and full of orange sherbet. Packed with sweet wood tannins.

Comments: Starts off outside in the cold Autumn air, leaf mulch crispiness, then moves indoors to warm up.

Christopher

Nose: Dried pineapple, pink grapefruit, peaches in syrup, and coconut. Reminiscent of sweet Riesling, a faint petrolic note with pencil shavings.

Palate: An interesting sweet and sour balance of syrup and citrus, the fresh and bright tropical fruit notes from the nose are also on the palate. White grape juice and honey water, lemon oil.

Finish: Medium length and slightly drying, with lingering pineapple and more lemon.

Comments: Not quite

Lilt, not quite piña colada, not quite Shloer – but something sitting in between.
