- Nose
- A seductive fruity nose of red fruit and sherry, like a delightful candy, with notes of yellow fruit, caramel, and chocolate. Also, a lightly earthy fruitcake, pipe tobacco, Ovaltine, Bündnerfleisch, hints of bay leaf, and new leather. Big meaty notes with barbecue char, grilled banana, heavy fruitiness, oak, and a sweet wine-like note.
- Palate
- Toffee, leather, tobacco, Pepsi, chicory, chocolate, and honeyed raisins. With water, it relaxes, becoming lighter, with a touch of sulphur and bitter oranges. It has a punch with dusty, peppery heat, dry oak, barbecued beef, rich sweet fruitiness, and thick sherry with a hint of wine.
- Finish
- Long, leaning more on dried fruits, pepper, and clove. More notes of wine, a dessert-y note, oak, meat, banana, papaya, rich fruit backed up with meat and oak, and barbecue notes without smoke.
