SPIRIT NOTES
We found an initial aroma of coffee grounds with a touch of smoke, some coconut, sweet autumnal leaf mulch and burnt toffee. Next up, crystallised sugar, toasted banana bread and stem ginger. Some coastal edge in the background like fresh prawns splashed with tabasco. Reduction gave savoury hoisin and brown sauce aromas with heather flowers, frosted bran flakes, linen paper, cardamom and milky chai tea. The neat palate was initially full of honey and vanilla, some dried mint and gentle medicinal tones with wafts of smoke. Water added brown sugar cubes, orange fruit jellies, tangy pineapple and chocolate-dipped gingers.
