New leather, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, orange peel soaked in oloroso sherry, medjool dates, dried vine fruit, and polished antique wood make for an indulgent range of aromas. The palate begins with bitter dark chocolate, walnut, tobacco, stewed fruits, and pepper, but there’s a lack of sweetness and the oak tannins become overpowering. The finish remains oaky, with wood spices, tobacco leaf, and Brazil nut.
