Nose, Vanilla, raisins and with apples, oranges, and spicy ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Palate, Echoing the nose, but with spice up front supported by raisin and vanilla in the background. Finish, Chocolate and raisins fade to light notes of citrus zest. Sweet all the way through. I suggest cutting alcohol with a dab of water or a large ice cube to truly pull out the wonderful flavours.
