Nose seems a bit muted. Some fruitiness, and paper. Taste is better, some fruit, some grain, spice, charred wood. Surprisingly intense caramel. Short finish. Great everyday sipper. 7/7/17 Strong wood notes this time around, both on th enose and the palate, especially the front end. The spice and sweetness balances it out mid palate, before it returns as a char/bitter note. 1/13/18
