Lots of oak. Thirty-three months of it deliver heady aromas. But it settles and patience is rewarded. Throw it in a decanter and leave it to reap the rewards.
Peel back the layers and there is plenty of interest to muse over. Puffs of earth, cedar, coconut husk, dark chocolate, Caramelo Koala and a faint nuttiness all mesh with ease. Some cloves rise up late as do some warming spices giving chase. Great width, the more air it sees the more it softens its presence. It certainly grows on you. Only a pup, definitely decant to drink now or let it sleep for over a decade.
