Nose

Smoky tea, an ashiness like a fire grate the morning after.

Palate

A little fruitiness, like black grapes. Some sweetness too and a herb character (almost basil, but not quite).

Finish

Lots of smoke, masking a fruitiness.

Comment

That Lapsang Souchong character is distinctive. Attractive youth, resolutely smoky but with a class. Lauren Bacall before the wrinkles.
