" Polished mahogany, with bronze highlights. Very autumnal nose of dried bramble berries, prunes, medjool dates, cinnamon, red pepper, praline and salted walnuts. In the mouth, there is a faint murmur of mint and an elusive scent of distant seashores, as well as tightly packed dried fruit, fudge, apricot and cocoa. Excellent texture, dry smooth and fresh, with a long, long finish. "
