Nose
Opens with pineapple richness and some fragrant mountain herbs. Apricot and white peach aromas filter through, some jasmine flower, some nettles.
Palate
Picking out the bassier notes of SB and running hard with them. The texture is creamy and rich, resplendent with sweet pineapple, hints of passionfruit and kiwifruit. Gooseberry, fire & spice, sweet lemon curd. The richness is offset by some taut acidity and a long finish that leaves you wanting more.
