Nose

Highly concentrated nose: black truffle, soy sauce and tamarind, roasted tea. Orange peel. Exotic and leathery with massive levels of whisky rancio mixed with a rooty vetiver note.

Palate

Polished,smoky. Prunes and earth. It could be an ancient Armagnac. Obvious age and big tannic grip but there's a hint of berry fruits.

Finish

Lengthy and gripping.

Comment

Like drinking an ancient forest and not to everyone's taste (or pocket) but it has character and power.
