Surprisingly deep and complex for its age, we were transported to a tropical swimming pool at first: plastic flip-flops, wicker sun-loungers, with a dusty note (’chest of drawers’), then a rush of pumpkin-seed oil, damson vinegar and Cola-cubes… The taste blows your socks off! Sweet and peppery, after a start of ‘water-wings’. Water softens the aroma and taste considerably: vanilla fudge, cherry pie and Canadian cedar (with cherries) on the nose, and a clean, mint humbug, mentholated (even clove-like) taste. One panellist produced a bottle of Coke and a lime… Delicious!
