Colour: amber. Nose: this one’s very different, as it would rather start with ripe apricots and touches of rubber (rubber bands), before it becomes superbly tobacco-ish. Walnut wine, black earth, lovage, barbecue, perhaps a drop of miso soup or Thai bouillon… With water: gravel, soot, cigars, apricots, and more miso soup. Mouth (neat): those apricots again! Stewed, in pies, on tartes, as jams, nothing but apricots. With water: same-ish, with touches of honey. Finish: medium, creamy, and you guessed it, very apricoty.
