- Nose
- Powerful and immensely chocolaty, cappuccino, raisins, rum, brandy, crystallised oranges, maraschino and cherry liqueur. Some sulphury and phosphory notes (cooked eggs, matchsticks box) with water.
- Palate
- Sour, surprising, oak, dirty, salty, diesel, always latently sweet.
- Finish
- Menthol, a lot of oak, a slight UHU note, at first sweet sherry notes that ends up in rather bitter, astringent oak notes.
