On the nose things started sweet with chocolate and nougat, brown sugar, dark rich plum, and cherry. Notes like worn leather and cedar wood finished out the bouquet. One is welcomed with warmth, caramel, spicy curry, and a rich Christmas baked pastry dessert. The finish is of medium length with a spicy exit.

The extra age with new char does some good work. The nose opens to a summer scene filled with campfire smoke, BBQ char, and sweet fruits like apple. The palate is balanced with sweet honeyed candy, apple and stone fruits on one side with a dry mouthfeel and smokiness with a dash of salt on the other. The finish is medium length and reminiscent of a dry wine.
