Nose
Rich, creamy. Milk chocolate. Hay, meadow flowers. Cappucino. Dried banana. Pepper. Palate
Full-bodied. Waves of flavours. Stewed peaches, coffee, walnuts. Aniseed. With water, toffee and more cream. Finish
Quite dry, thinner than palate. Nutty. Spicy. Comment
Virile. Rich display of flavours. If I was to climb up the Fujiyama, I'd take a flask with me.
