Nose: Intense spice and fruit, a little rancio and espresso, great complexity.
Palate: Full flavoured with honeyed orchard fruit, star anise, warming ginger and oak tannins.
Finish: Big and very long.
Overall: A more intense version of the Drouet et Fils XO Ulysse, essentially, (which is a very, very good thing) that can stand up to a fine cigar.
