Nose: Popping tobacco and dried blueberries at first, it immediately reminded me of the #7274 bottling for France a year ago. Soon the glass was filled with chocolate, raisins and some sherry wine. Charcoal, Pu'er tea, and sand-fried chestnuts slowly arrived as well. I tasted it again a month later while the delicious aromas were retained, a piece of Chinese red bean cake and longer-aged black tea leaves were also added.
Palate: Dark plums, grape jam, tobacco, and acid from the plum peel strengthened. Grape seeds were there but not obvious. After a few seconds of chewing, the mouth was full of orange jam and cherry jam with a bit of bittersweet iced black tea.
Finish: Grape jam, some grape seeds, cherry pies, syrup, Portuguese egg tarts and plum peel. The plum and mandarin orange acid lingered. Vanilla ice cream and white chocolate hit back a minute later.
