Apples & pears laid on buttery brioche with a side order of sponge cake. Soft floral notes develop with gentle baking spices not far behind: nutmeg & vanilla. Hiding behind the sweeter notes are hints of spiky green herbs. Sweet & softly spicy to start, with rich syrup & spiced sponge cake becoming fruitier as it sits on the palate. Muscat grapes build along with sweet pear, but they are balanced by growing spice. The spice is soft but dusty at first, before becoming integrated into the sweet core of the vermouth. Behind that, gentle wormwood bitterness slowly builds. The bitterness sits at the centre of the finish, with sweet & spicy notes slowly fading.
