Nose: Rich fruitiness, coffee, toffee, oak. Deeply fragrant, fruity and rich. Musty tobacco.

Taste: Thin to medium mouth feel. Good body. Mild heat, oak pepper and tobacco. Faint sulfur, clove, cocoa. Sweet and fruity, mild stewed fruits. Fairly crisp.

Finish: Medium length, growing heat, fruity, oaky, spicy. More heat than I really would have enjoyed, but not punishing.

Thanks for reading!
