Nose
old walnuts, butter cream, smoked tea, marmalade and various chutneys (probably mango, maybe pineapple), some soot, some metal polish... Touches of old white wine... camphor, then aniseed and wormwood... smoked cheese.
Palate

medium length, always woody and resinous. Astonishingly, the aftertaste is neither too drying nor too astringent. Mint.
