Nose
surprisingly fresh, with just mild coal smoke and much more worn leathery notes. Also old (polished) cupboard wood and forgotten tools in an old car workshop. Then also a mild hint of ripe mango and pineapple, mixed with subtle spearmint. Very light hints of cappuccino and honey in the distance, as well as sweet coastal elements and polished brassware. There's an echo of that typical black pepperiness as well, I swear.
Palate
oily and chewy, with a little more peat smoke now, as well as some dark herbs and hints of burnt sugar. There's a wonderful bittersweet drop in the middle, almost savoury as well. Then walnuts, sweet blackcurrant jam, herbal teas, hints of Seville oranges but otherwise less fruits.
Finish
long finish, with more of that dark sweetness, hints of coffee beans, smoked tea and liquorice. Maybe a hint of cough syrup.
