For my taste very well balanced, not too oaky, nor too pungent, fruity, sweet. Only thing I am missing is the real character. Nose: vanilla sweet, fruity (candied orange), some warming spices. Much deeper and more rich than the 10yo. Palate: fresh spices, very sweet, nutty, warming spices in background from the beginning till the end. Finish: nuts, spices, moderate dryness. Quite long. Much longer than the original 10yo.
