Nose
closed at first, it takes time to open up. It starts with vanilla and biscuit, then comes many fruits, especially pear compote, passion fruit, mango, kiwi, gooseberry, also some old wood and very discreet leather and quite a bit smoke away. Wax (OBF?), A decent portion of salt with caramel, nice interaction between salt and sweetness.
Palate
Wow, very big cinema, first very oily, nice sweetness, then many tropical fruits accompanied by spices (bergamot and cloves), some oak tannins, again the salty caramel, the smoke is here a bit stronger, but underlines the flavors and will never even close to dominant.
Finish
long and intense, fruits, salt, and tidy wood, maybe a little bit too much, that after a while it gets a bit bitter. There is also some soap here.
