Nose

Big emulsion note, followed by toasted vanilla, a little anise and nail polish remover/acetone. Dig a little deeper and some tinned apricots emerge.

Palate

Very strong and powerful, with a sour cherry and then some creaminess, with a little vanilla pipe tobacco popping in at the end. Needs water to open up. With a dash, mandarin orange segments and sour cherries develop, with a toasted wood note.

Finish

A hint of creaminess, alongside those cherries.

Comment

Direct, if a little one-dimensional.
