Cigar box, mushroom, sous bois, decaying blackberry; aged and slightly thin, but balanced, elegant, long, penetrating, with some fruit remaining; well past prime but still cerebrally stimulating and enjoyable After 1.5 Hours: Nose is similar but slightly more perfumed and slightly more sedate; on the palate it is livelier and more fruitful, with a vibrancy, long and undulating, but with an aggressive almost animalistic finish; quite stimulating
