Taste:

in brief… A rich, complex and confident Singleton with hints of melon, which reveals itself at its own very elegant pace.

in a sentence… Early fresh citrus fruit and rustic waxy notes mature into a rich, soft creaminess offset by aromatic spices before arriving at a comforting, warming conclusion, ideally after dinner!

Nose:

A cautious start with soft hints of melon and summer citrus fruit, opening up to reveal firm waxy notes and rich floral aromas; a whole garden of geraniums and roses. Later, warming spices develop into appetising cinnamon and ginger-spiced biscuits.

Palate:

Gently coating. At first, layers of ripe melon fruit and zesty orange-oil freshness fuse with sultanas and spiced biscuits; then it all becomes much richer with crystallized ginger and ginger biscuits coated in an exquisite chocolate creaminess with hints of vanilla.

Finish:

Of medium length and beautifully rounded. Rich choux pastry with cooling thick cream; late toasted notes and dry cocoa powder sprinkled on a bitter chocolate tart. Finally, all that richness builds to a gloriously warming conclusion.
