Nose
Polished oak tones, volatile hints of turpentine, aromatic spice and rancio notes. Mint leaves and subtle cigar boxes. Herbal honeys, dried apricots, raisins, hints of almond cake and raspberry jam. Blackcurrants and Maraschino cherries. Many mentholated notes, scented, resinous hardwoods, crystallised fruits, waxes and rich notes of long-aged dessert wines and herbal liqueurs.
Palate
Very seductive, with lots of furniture polish, cedar and sandalwood, as well as mint and mentholy freshness. A slight winey (Port-like) note comes out, bringing more blackberry and red grape, along with a gamay note. Blood oranges, aniseed, liquorice and black peppercorns. It gets quite resinous, herbal and a bit tannic.
Finish
Long, with more red fruits like sour cherries, plenty of herbal teas and lingering notes of menthol and resin. The vinous Port is noticeable, but the other elements bring balance.
