Neat. Nose is pretty. Honey, caramel, vanilla, fruitcake, floral, oak. Alcohol is subdued and add just a little brightness.. Taste is sugar sweet, oaky, cinnamon bite, caramel, dried fruit, baking spices, vanilla. Finish is medium long. tart with oak tannins, mild cinnamon, saccharine sweetness, and nougat Solid. Flavorful, nothing challenging, nor polarizing Exceptional value. Sippable at a mixer price
