sweet candy or apricot on the nose, delightful rich aromas, slight caramel and very light pine. Lots of levels on the nose. Spice, oak and light smoke on the palate. Rich mouth feel but not oily. Fruity flavors come through in later sips Spicy finish but no burn, short finish that doesn't stick around too long. A solid pour though not outstanding, would get again at a decent price point but there are definitely better bottles out there in the $50 range.
