Tasting notes：

Nose:  really typical, showing mineral oils, some earthy and leafy hints, as well as orange and some natural sulfuric character (matchstick heads). A bit of caramel, flints and tobacco. Ripe golden apples and very subtle sherry notes. After a while some apricot appears in the background.

Palate:  more sulfuric now, with a fatty texture, more matchsticks and perhaps a little rubber now. Minerals and herbal notes set in, alongside a meaty Oloroso note. Then tobacco, autumn leaves, chestnuts and walnuts, leaving an almost tannic dry note in the end. An intriguing but balanced combination, with a nice autumnal character.

Finish: long, with more walnuts, tobacco, some broth and hints of cocoa.
