TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium amber color. The aromatics are very intense, giving aromas of corn/maize, charred oak, chocolate, leather, maple syrup, baking spices, baked apple, and black tea with supporting notes of oak and sultanas. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a cereal-driven core with supporting flavors of nutmeg, cocoa, black tea, charred oak, and five spice. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and favorably balanced with a velvety texture.
