Nose: Sweet and inviting, with cool notes of orchard fruits, honey and vanilla. With time, delicate hints of strawberry and peach emerge, adding a softer, summery fruitiness.

Taste: Full bodied. A full-on flavour fest! Creamy mouthfeel, with white pepper and toasted oak up front. Then comes a parade of fruits, ripe, dried and tinned (not all at the same time, mind you). Peach, pear, pineapple, apple and watermelon all make an appearance.

Finish: Medium to long. The spiciness persists in a playful way, now accompanied by an almost sooty character. The fruitiness settles down to tinned peaches and honey-glazed apples. A touch of milk chocolate and oaky astringency round things off.

Comment: A playful and vibrant fruit fest. 

Score 86/100
