Nose
great fruity notes with a layer of varnish / glue and menthol. Redcurrant and cherry jam, raspberry jelly, fresh figs, also hints of balsamic vinegar. Dried apricot. Cedar oak as well as hints of graphite. Cinnamon and ginger. Quite juicy and perfectly clean.
Palate
rich, quite herbal and dry from the beginning. There's certainly fruit cake and forest fruits but it's a bit overpowered by grape pips, cloves and black pepper. Sandalwood. Pine resin and ginger. Tobacco. A little camphor as well.
Finish
long and dry, with chocolate and a hint of smoke.
