An odd one for me as I'm really not getting what I have read in others' notes. Woody notes on the nose, leather/dust and a hint of raspberry (oddly it reminds me of negroamaro wine). Expected sweeter notes, but these are subtle (vanilla is still there but somewhat hidden). Oak on the palate. Even dryer than the nose suggested. A hint of bitterness. The finish is where the sweet notes finally come through - honey and oak.
