Nose: overall, very fruity; sliced Pink Lady apples on a sweet buttery sponge base, with a drizzle of treacle.  Then a slow developing floral note, possibly orange or Jasmine?

Palate: the taste is initially very buttery, especialy with the addition of a little water, and now there's a hint of lemon sherbet sweets. The latter is well translated in the taste

Finish: sweet and slightly fizzing, then smooth and lightly mouth-srying with lingering coconut in the aftertaste.  Very well balanced and universally pleasing
