Online tasting note for reference:

Nose:
Beeswax, paraffin, roasted nuts, bread crust and apple compote, with faint whiffs of iodine. Rather big notes of quince jelly arising then, as well as a little sweet wine (Maury or Rivesaltes and the likes) and dry sherry. Back on mustard and smoke at the end.

Mouth:
A punchy, peppery and candied attack, very nervous, with quite some peat and hints of fructose (or kiwi). Gets sweeter and sweeter after that, almost sugary, with various jams (apricots, plums, orange marmalade) and quite some oak. Gets also a little bitter (grass, leaves, oak).

Finish:
long, half-sweet, half-grassy, with rather big tannins. A tad drying.
