An intense, rich, multifaceted nose, important nuances ranging from fruit (primarily currant and blueberry, cherries in alcohol, ripe red plum) to floral, lively and iridescent (red rose, geranium, violet); shortly after comes the spice, black pepper, cinnamon, oriental spices, incense, and a light toasting. It closes with a pleasant almond note.
