Panel's tasting note:  "We entered a carpenter’s workshop whilst he was working hard preparing wood with a hand plane. When he saw us he stopped, walked over and the scent of a vetiver fragrance he was wearing - masculine, slightly smoky with hints of incense, mixed with the smells of wood shavings, fresh cut cedar, beeswax and French polish - made it an evocative experience. He offered us white chocolate-covered jalapeno peppers, butterscotch toffee cookies and candied nuts. Water added aromas of fresh cut grass with a hint of pine sap whilst on the palate now a creamy lime cheesecake with an Espresso Martini."

Drinking tip:  "After a hard day's work"
