Very deficient nose, It was barely giving off any aroma. I got a little tobacco and soap.
taste of spice and clove. Very good, would have been off the charts had I been able to get more from the nose.

I did not care for the older 2002. Overall 2009 seems to be far more residual sugar than I prefer.
