Nose
dark prunes and dates, with a box of chocolates that has just been opened. Unfortunately it also shows heavy gunpowder notes and matchsticks, dried mushrooms and a bit of marmite. Sulphur, yes. Beef jerky. Leather. Roasted nuts. A few heady notes too, in between soy sauce and wine vinegar.
Palate
again quite heavy, with less fruity notes than we'd like. Smoky wood, flints and some gunpowder again. Dry herbal notes, chestnuts and toasted bread. Dark prune jam. Cinnamon. Drying leathery notes. A meaty touch.
Finish
long, oaky and spicy, with dark chocolate and ashes.
