SMWS Tasting Notes

Colour: An auburn beauty

Flavour Profile: Deep, rich & dried fruits

The tart and spicy nose was a teasing sign of things to come. Mango chutney, charred pineapple chunks (on the barbecue?) and orange barley sugars made for an excellent appetiser. The taste was cooling and minty. One panellist found dried red fruits (cranberries and cherries), whilst warming autumn spices (nutmeg and ginger) lent some depth to a raisin studded sponge cake. With water, the nose developed to include chocolate coated Turkish delight, runny honey and bananas with icing sugar. The taste was that of dried banana chips, vanilla marshmallows and sweet, ripe cherries.

Drinking Tip: As an appetiser to get the taste buds going, or with dessert as a sweet on sweet experience
