Mature fragrances of dried peach, oak, wood resin and vanilla extract delight; further aeration stimulates toasted scents of almond, fruit compote, dried fruit pastry and moss. Entry is oily, silky, fruity and spicy; midpalate highlights honey, vanilla, dark caramel, fudge, coffee bean and old oak. Wow, what a beauty.
