Nose: Begins with earthy tones reminiscent of a root cellar and wet leaves, paired with the distinct aroma of a dunnage warehouse. Wine-like nuances emerge alongside red fruits and berries, underpinned by a dense sweetness. Over time, a subtle hint of rubber appears.

Taste: Full-bodied, channeling the essence of mandelkjernepudding with its rich, creamy texture and a comforting warmth from the spices.

Finish: The medium-long finish shifts towards a fruitier profile, though the flavors become somewhat intertwined and less distinct.

Comment: Intriguing.
