- Nose
- Fruity pipe tobacco, suede upholstery, oloroso sherry and a flaming Christmas cake. Dark, intense and sumptuous. Korean chicken wings, date syrup, gingerbread biscuits dusted with icing sugar. Sweet aromas of runny honey, vanilla-scented candles, over-ripe mango and cantaloupe melon. Buttery notes and toffee with fermenting fruits and whiffs of yoghurt, alongside the usual chalkiness and wet concrete.
- Palate
- Full-bodied texture with bunches of dried fruits – figs, cranberries – and leather. Dessert wine, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange peel. With water, there's some eucalyptus and cough syrup as well. Luscious notes of chargrilled pineapple, lemon oil, dates, cranberries and apricots, with lashings of cinnamon and mint. More fruity now, with ripe pineapple, oranges, as well as hints of dates. Hints of roasted bread with marmalade. Espresso. Black peppercorns. Menthol and liquorice.
- Finish
- All tannins and spice: peppermint, burnt fruitcake and sweet Russian caravan tea. Long, with hints of gingerbread, cocoa and toasted oak.
