Tasting notes by Meesh: As ever St Henry pours a beautiful golden colour. The nose is sweet and full of dried apricots and apricot skin, married with subtle chamomile floral notes. On the palate there is jammy ripe apricot swiftly met by zippy sherbety acidity. There’s elements of Gold there too, an almost creamy vanilla character and pleasant oak backbone to round out the experience.
