Hen & Chicken back to its best

Brilliant pale straw colour with a slight tinge of green around the edges and a watery hue. The nose opens with an intense whiff of lemon butter, nectarines and bees wax followed by subtle nougat and spice end notes. Rich and creamy but at the same time fresh the palate delivers generous flavours of nectarines mixed in with dried honey, lemon butter, light citrusy nougat and spice. Clean dry finish. Very good length with a long aftertaste of nectarines, dried honey, lemon butter and citrusy nougat.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
