Nose
Honey, sweet nectar, tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, ripe bananas, fine notes of oak wood, little peppery, whiffs of vanilla - great!

Mouth/Palate
Wow, very punchy, oily, creamy, good sweetness and fruitiness, peppery and zesty, more on grapefruit, some oak wood, little leafy notes - very good

Finish
Long, burning, a bit more leafy and probably even a tad bitter but not much
