- Nose
- Powerful and a little spirity, with obvious sherry notes, roasted hazelnuts, wax, grains, and a slight sugariness. Develops into antique notes of old furniture and leather, with faint hints of cooked cabbage and smoked ham.
- Palate
- Very sweet and creamy with an oily mouthfeel, much oak, and spiced vanilla crème. With water, it becomes more spicy, waxy, and a little salty, with less vanilla.
- Finish
- Very long, with notes of pears.
