Black tea and wood sap on the nose, with slight crème brûlée and caramel. Not a very strong nose. The palate is pine and sharp citrus with a decent amount of alcohol. It mellows into oak and black tea before finishing with warm vanilla caramel that settles with an accent of oak. A drop of water turns the pine into baking spices and mellows the citrus, while the oak and tea in the middle became a bit more oak and leather. The finish with the water had some cinnamon apple. I would rate this 3.5 with a drop of water.
