Nose: spiced gingerbread and coconut shavings, with fragrant rose petals on top. A little nutmeg, verveine and cinnamon. Then whiffs of incense. After a while the baking spice moves backwards, making room for, orange peels, fruit tartlets and yellow plums. Mouth: spices and oak up front. Polished furniture. Grapes, stewed orchard fruits, with mint tea and aniseed. Then bananas flambéed, honey, white pepper and hints of leather. A sour berry note as well. The wood is quite prominent, almost grassy at some point, but also adds vivacity. Finish: quite long, with a hint of cedar, baked fig, grassy hints and oriental spice.
