Tasting notes：

Nose: very waxy. Lots of paraffin notes, sunflower oil and old waxed paper, along with very ripe mirabelles, guava and pineapples. Then old leather, hay and varnish. Subtle mentholated notes and the acidity of green apples and lemon cordial. Whiffs of yeasty dough as well.

Palate: this juicy fruitiness comes out again, albeit a little less tropical this time. Green bananas, lemon syrup, grapefruits, herbal honey and bergamot oil. A subtle fermentary funkiness as well, that reminds me of some rums. Oily notes and subtle medicinal herbs. Then more leathery dryness with a yeasty / chalky edge and hints of varnish.

Finish: not too long, but still nicely oily, with echoes of overripe fruits and some spicy oak.
