Nose
Slightly smoky from the start with sweet cherries and polished wood. Rather sweet and on closer inspection there are also other red and black fruits like blackberries. I also get a lot of spices including ginger.
Palate
Very dry with a massive amount of wood influences. Almost astringent. Sweet red and black fruits but most of all the cherries are back. Furniture polish and leather wax. Incredibly sharp.
Finish
The finish is slightly different and very, very long. It starts of rather sharp but soon settled down into loads of forest fruits with mostly cherries and blackberries. I also get a slight hint of custard and tropical fruits like mango.
