Sweetish and vinous with some roastiness, syrup, maltiness, oak, grapes, hints of sherry, figs and prunes. Decent.

750ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with slightly late awakening, small to average, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Intense and condensed, caramel malty aroma, spicy-woody and minimally fruity overtones, notes of caramel, some marzipan, a touch of vanilla, cedar, whiffs of tobacco. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, minimally vinous fruity, slightly tannic, woody, notes of caramel, some marzipan, a touch of vanilla, oak, white wine; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
Immensely sweet, a tad disharmonious, not overly complex - okay-ish, not really morish sipper.
