- Nose
- Starts a little dirty, with lots of mushrooms, damp forest notes and a little cooked cabbage. Some caramel and beurre noisette. After plenty of breathing, it shows sweeter fruity notes and some chamomile.
- Palate
- Sweet and caramelly. Apples and honey. Toffee. Then it turns to yeasty and softly bitter notes. A veil of smoke. Hints of oranges. Round oak and soft spices.
- Finish
- Long, sweet and rather herbal with more than a hint of rubber.
