Soft, unexcited approach. Slightly sweet, fruity after Kirchen, strawberries, currants, a little grapefruit / lemon is still there. Subtly chocolatey, wood and some furniture polish in the background.
After a while, a slightly cooling note of menthol will appear.
I like it. -
Spicy, powerful, wood, light bitterness comes through. Pepper, a little chilli heat creates a tingly mouthfeel.
In addition, the fruit flavors come through, but they appear a bit sour. I also notice the cooling menthol here and take the heat out a little. Herbal and spicy notes are subtle. Meets my taste again. It doesn't seem all round to me, but still varied and tasty. -
Medium-long finish, becoming dry, with spices and herbs, fruit slowly fades and some oak and pepper remain.
