Nose: maritime fruity smoke, dark fruits and grapes. Otherwise rather reserved. I'll give him more time.
Later come light sweet notes and a few herbs and cloves

Taste: fruity, smoky onset, maritime smoke, dark fruits, slightly bitter, then becoming slightly sweet

Finish: lots of herbs and cloves paired with smoke. The dark fruits are back too.
