On the Nose -Spice, Old Wood, Fresh mint, lemon grass, sea breeze, leather. On the palate - more spice but not too hot of you let it breathe for 20 minutes or so. Afraid to add a drop of water since it taste so complex and so damn good. You will want to take your time on this one for sure. Good price buy one if you see it before they disappear. Highly recommended after a good meal. Paid like 60
