Apple segments played dodgeball against chunks of toffee armed with blackcurrants. A cloud of cotton candy lingered overhead, raining lemon juice over this sweetest of sporting events. On the palate we found chewy malt loaf with a chilli flake crust, pine resin and plaster of paris.
Water introduced more delicate sweet notes to the nose, beginning with heather honey and retro pear-flavoured bubble gum, then morphing to cold white bread and salt crystals. The reduced palate was refreshingly different, with coconut, sour plums, brioche buns and a gentle wood spice.
