Nose
Immensely thick, dusty and earthy, with dark chocolate, rubber, tar, marmite, and aged cigars. Hints of perfumed wood, moss, rotting driftwood, decomposing leaf litter, salted fish, and old pu er tea.
Palate
Very candied and rich, with black liquorice, sea salt, pineapple jam, diesel fuel, and minerals. Peat is evident and integrated with sherry, earthy and mechanical, with damp tea leaves, incense, dunnage rancio, rusted metal tools, beef stock, and hints of purple fruit.
Finish
Very long and saturated, with flavors drying out towards a medium length, powdery, and dry texture.
