Fragrance: Very massive, compact fruit and wood composition, wonderfully integrated wood, great product ripeness, partly with tertiary rumester notes, baked apple, somewhat quetsch plum and bitter almond appeals, reminiscent also of brandy casks, estery and rum-like, leather and tobacco-like. Taste: Explosive transition, aroma image duplicats and intensifies on the palate, apple, quince, dried fruit, roasty aromas, Tonka bean, somewhat green, peely and herbal spiciness, leather, tobacco, dark caramel, delicately nutty, still a lot of tannin, sherry appeals, malty sweetness, good density and long finish.
