Official tasting note for reference

Aromas
Blackcurrant and cider combined with oily balsamic vinegar and oak.

Palate
Chocolate combines with grape must, apple cider and dark fruits. This would be accompanied by notes of tar and ship's diesel as well as old oak wood, furniture polish, tobacco, leather and mineral notes.

Finish
With a very powerful finale, the Calvados spoils the palate for a long time.
