Nose: Sun-warmed toasted oak smeared with rich maple syrup, and sprinkled with cinnamon, icing sugar and little fancy pieces of candied orange and crumbled fudge. This is a stunning nose! So vibrant and full of warm life. With time uncooked apple wood smoked bacon, creamy vanilla and nuts.
Taste: Big and bold! Cinnamon, toasted oak, more cinnamon, maple syrup, heather honey, creamy vanilla. Dried fruits, nutmeg and almond paste. Fun spices.
Finish: Medium long finish. More of the same goodness. Fairly spicy now, and a bit drier. Pepper of all sorts, cinnamon and ginger.
Comment: Divine nose, lovely palate!
