Nose: What a delightful nose. A harmonious mix of leather, tobacco, home made caramel pudding, almond milk and honey. Vanilla and fruit drops with time.

Taste: Powerful, but gentle. This is not a bully. Rich, sugary, and fruity sweetness enveloped in an almost smoke-like cloud of spices, nuts, leather and oakiness.

Finish: Long finish. Delivers a silky smooth landing, with sublime sweetness and mild oakiness dancing away the night.

Comment: Fantastic!
