Nose
Great maturity. Nail varnish, lacquer. Velvety with some nuttiness (walnut/cashew). Glossy.
Palate
Starts sweetly enough, then grips. Lacks complexity and breadth.
Finish
Firm. Hard.
Comment
High maintenance. Beneath that sleek exterior beats a hard, one dimensional heart.

Nose
Old, gingery mulling spices and an exotic musky spice. Spiced apple compote, honey and a background sherbety zip. Faint chlorine and vanilla.
Palate
Lemon, orange sherbet, nutmeg and dry spice. Slightly waxy.
Finish
Woody, dry/bitter complexity.
Comment
Clearly old, and pleasant enough but slightly muted.
