Good, just not epic.
Aroma has mostly velvet caramel, some heat and cinnamon & spice notes.
The flavor front to back does deliver on the Aroma and continues the velvet smooth theme. Sweet candied fruit and caramel with some oak on the finish. The finish doesn't last as long as I would have hoped. Just a touch oily which is nice. The complexity and depth of flavor was missing here. The flavor & feel are very nice, but at this level you should be exploring as you work through the glass. Just not so.
