Nose
A fairly dry start with oriental spiciness, sour tobacco leaves, flowery aroma, oranges, lemon, varnished oak, chocolate notes, and a faint hint of smoke.
Palate
Dried fruits, sweetness of baked pears, tangy flavors like zesty oranges and ginger, pepper, liquorice, earthy notes, and a hint of smoke. Some wood, full body, and a variety of strong flavors.
Finish
Long and dry on oranges, spices, and roasted nuts. Short, initial smoke then smoothes out to a spicy feel.
