Started all flowers: violets and roses. After an hour it was fraise des bois, tar and wet stone which held past hour three. By hour four, it was orange peel, framboise and black tea. Tannins are still pretty firm but they don't detract from the joy. Bravo.

Much brighter nose than I expected. Plums and cherries with an herbaceous backbone. A hint of leather as well.
