Colour: golden amber. Nose: I can find notes of botrytis, dried porcinis, high-end Cuban cigar… This is superlative, supremely elegant, and an ode to bottle ageing. Fantabulous smokiness (coal, wood, charcoal, cigars, whatever). Roasted chestnuts. Roasted cashew, old greases and oils. Castor oil. Mouth: Oils, waxes, burnt stuff (paper, cardboard, wood, pine cones…), chocolate, then rather old herbal liqueurs, Bénédictine, Izarra, Suze, gentian…. Finish: long, dry, ashy, smoky…
