Nose: Robust and fruity, with old leather as the base, topped with dark port wine, ripe blackberry, pickled plum, and Demerara sugar. Over time, it brightens with a fresh, captivating fruitiness that grows ever more prominent.
Palate: Gentle and smooth, with more pronounced old leather, along with Demerara sugar and heavy old port wine, as well as dried rather than fresh fruits. A hint of tobacco in the background.
Finish: Long and dark with fading fruits, while leather and tobacco linger.
