Neat. Neck pour. A fresh cinnamon roll to start. Quite a bit of delicious oak and vanilla. The nose has this rich and creamy presence within that vanilla. There is a sweetness that takes over the longer I sit with it. Dark cherries emerge. Creamy and smooth on the tongue. Quite oily. Oh that is good. Waves of flavors that just keep coming. First on the tongue, it’s brighter than I was expecting with that rich vanillas and hit of apple dominating rather than the spice, cinnamon or oak. On the taste it transitioned to this delightful chocolate then into oak and cinnamon. It mutes for a second and then you get a second wave of oak and vanilla. The tannins dry the mouth a bit. Just when you think it’s over the vanilla finds it’s way back as your mouth tries to counter balance the drying. Then in my mouth I can still chew on the cherry. What a delightful ride. The nose is still changing too. That chocolate note and oak are taking center stage. This is perfect.
