Burlap, clove oil and mustard seeds tickled our noses initially. We also noted waxed canvas, orange oils, flaked almonds and hazelnut cream in this lovely, older-style profile. With reduction we found chamois leather, fir wood resins, dried heather flowers and apple turnover cake.
The palate opened with rich notes of shoe polish, pumpkin seed oil, fruity waxes, pollens and medicinal vibes such as wintergreen and myrtle. With water we got sweeter notes of bakewell tart, custard, sweet stout beers, brown bread and menthol waxes.
