It has a complex bouquet of beeswax, lanolin, lemon curd and almond that is effortlessly combined. The palate is nigh perfectly balanced with very good weight. It has a seamless waxy texture and a peacocks tail of almond, creme brulee, marzipan and dried apricot. There is a beguiling sense of completeness here.
