Nose

Earthy, fungal. With a sour fruit note. Granny smith. Pine needles. Damp wood. Vanilla slowly rises up. Shortbread. A floral note with water.

Palate

Sweet at first then the oak grip plus the alcohol give a sherbety sensation on the tongue. Nearly numbing. Chestnut purée. More oak with water.

Finish

Warm, dry, spicy.

Comment

The alcohol is not well mastered. Difficult, as if you add water, you go too far on the oak side.
