Nose

A little closed without water; hints of grass, crystallised fruits and butter toffee. Water brings a note of dry cracker which mellows into juicier aromas.

Palate

Solid rich stuff that stays in the mouth, all polished wood, soft leather, chocolate, black fruits, pipe smoke and balancing crunchiness.

Finish

Lush and fruity slowly crisping up.

Comment

Like a gentleman's club: all leather chairs, cigar smoke and murmured conversations. A beauty.
