QUIET CONFIDENCE
Cask No. 42.73
sold out
A gentle nose, slowly opening from grassy meadows and hay fields to vanilla ice-cream, pears or apple strudel in custard and marshmallow tea-cakes; also wicker baskets and pencil boxes. The smooth, silky palate combines mellow fruitiness (orange, tutti- frutti, strawberries) with sweet things (glazed donuts, candy floss, chocolate-coated raisins) and flickering twinkles of liquorice, pepper and wood on the finish.
The reduced nose – elegant and easy-going – a polished wooden counter in an ice-cream parlour; honey with a memory of sun on daffodils. The palate now much more balanced and integrated – still syrupy, but with hints of citrus and warming spice to complicate it.
