Tasting Notes
"The nose reels you in with enticing sweetness, wafts of vanilla pudding and crème brûlée upfront with background notes of leather and wet soil earthiness, oak, and spice. The palate begins deceptively soft before opening up in a big way, with vanilla, cedar, cinnamon and cloves, and also bits of licorice and spearmint. The finish is bold, with heat giving way to astringency, and lasting notes of rich caramel sweetness and tingly black pepper."
