Nose
Starts on a combination of orange squash and motor oil, shoe polish, grenadine, pomegranates and something like rhubarb juice. Goes on with whiffs of wet rocks and clay/chalk and gets finally very liquoricy and fruity at the same time. A huge pack of liquorice allsorts. Also a lot of 'resinous' honey (honeydew) and old wax polish.
Palate
Notes of dirty honey, Campari, stale Guinness and English brown sauce (or sweetened gravy). Sweet onions.
Finish
Rather long, on the same kind of honeyed and resinous notes as on the nose but also something metallic and papery. And some coffee and raisins, from the sherry I guess.
