Sweet, rich and full-bodied. Rather than being one harmonious taste that you can pick apart to find the elements, there are noticable gaps between the very clear flavors. Open with light apples and pears, (pause) to light honeysuckle, (small pause) to rich honey, (long pause) to sharp nutmeg, clove and ginger, and then (pause) close clean with just a bit of heat and oak. It's interesting, and if there wasn't the noticeable spaces between flavors, I'd rate this a solid 4.5.
