A bit feisty – you don’t need to get close to the glass to get a hit of white wine fruit and a touch of spice. A proper sniff brings sweeter notes, with roasted bananas and cream backed up by cooked agave and a touch of rich riverbank loam. Aniseed and white chocolate develop. The palate is softer and sweeter than expected from the nose, with the bananas back and paired with sultanas and baked apples. Some darker, oily-engine notes hide at the back, with green and browning leaves, creamy custard and a touch of bitter licorice bridging the gap. The finish is leafy spice and soft, sweet banana linger.
