Nose is dried cherries & dates; can even feel the burn of the alcohol here. Color is mild caramel w/ a rosy tint. Mouth feel is thick; nice viscosity. Up front is dried dark fruits drizzled w/ honey and the slightest touch of toasted oak. Middle is crème brûlée. Finish is a mildly lasting sweet warmth. A 3.5 if I could give 1/2 stars.
