Aromas of chocolate, caramel, nuts, vanilla and cinnamon are present on the nose. Palate is surprisingly sweet and tame for the proof point. Flavors are rich and the initial sip has notes of vanilla, cherry and chocolate. As the palate evolves some of the nutiness and cinnamon from the nose appear. Heat and spice kicks in on the finish. Finish has a drying quality that lingers for a long length.
