Slightly ripe, candied nutty and woody-spicy scent of candied and partly dried citrus fruits with slightly minty herbal notes. Clear, juicy, ripe fruit in the mouth, notes of candy, nutty and spicy wood, fine, lively acidity, persistent on the palate, much power and melodiousness, noticeable, slightly warming but well integrated alcohol, still shows surprising freshness, very good, somewhat cocoa-like, woody and also juicy finish.
