Deep copper color. The nose has heavy vanilla, dark cherries, honey, Dr Pepper cola, charred cinnamon stick and sweet oak. Heavy-bodied mouthfeel. The palate is oaky and spicy, dominated up front by the sweet oak, then vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and ground nutmeg, with hints of cherry cola, roasted peanuts, leather, black pepper and bittersweet chocolate sprinkled with sea salt. The finish is medium-long and hot, again dominated by the oak but more dry and tannic than the palate, with more baking spices and a little leather.
