The color is a deep, vibrant amber, almost red, with thin legs that cling to the glass. The nose is a wonderful mix of oak, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar and chocolate. The palate is rich and dry with cinnamon and chocolate that coats the mouth, with oak, vanilla, caramel, fresh bread and a nice creaminess. The finish is long and hot and spicy with oak and chocolate that linger while the rest of the palate fades to a nice sweetness.
