Nose
Vanilla, a little cardboard, newly sawn oak and ginger. Fruitier notes arise after deep nosing, such as pineapples and ripe apples. With water, it becomes a tad more organic, with hay notes.
Palate
Woodiness is much more obvious and a tad drying. Tinned pineapples plus a lot of spices (ginger, pepper, cloves, Chinese anise, liquorice). With water, more of the same, with slightly disturbing cardboardy notes.
Finish
Medium long, rather tannic but not excessively so.
