Overall
Value
Flavor
Nose
Mushrooms, blackberry and black cherries with velvety vanilla, leather and tobacco. Hints of fresh tarmac. Extreme and archetypal.
Taste
Smoky and earthy with hints of tobacco. Dark fruits. Savoury when water is added (meat, mushrooms) with herbs (mint, cardamom) but also more hints of fireworks.
Finish
Long, drying (slightly tannic) and leafy.
