Nose: kind of loght, some caramel, nuts Palette: sweet anise, caramek, nutty, just keeps changing! So dimentional. Chocolate, some dark fruits, tannins in the finish which is long with some spearmint, more chocolate covered nuts, and lasts forever. So good Compared to the 13 year, the 13 has a more complex nose, and more of a bite. Sweeter, mintier, but not as complex.
