On the nose; vintage, rancio, musty, cellar, tobacco, along with subtle cooked agave notes, caramel, slightly fruity, baking spices and barrel spice (bourbon influence) On palate; same as above plus anise, clove, pitted dehydrated fruits, white pepper. It does transport you to a humid cellar as you let this profile open up. Is a harmonious profile, but not to the level I was expecting (using Paradiso as my reference). Finish is medium/long but bitter. Points deducted for price $500-600 tag. Paradiso is as comparable on profile complexity for way less.
