Nose: vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, very slight hint of fruit - apple? Cherry? At times a kind of chemical note comes in too, almost like paint thinner or mineral spirits but very faint and intermittent. Palate: very caramel-ish but not overly sweet. Oaky, but not tannic or astringent. A little cinnamon shows up and that hint of apple. Finish: dry, oaky, cinnamon and baking spices
