Nose
Impressively oaky like a large carpenter's workshop, followed by fudge, quinces, Havana cigars, tea, and subtle hints of cow stable and cinnamon.
Palate
Big and oaky with bitter orange peel, acrid and grassy oak notes, lots of cinnamon, evolving with water into spicy apple juice and sweet sponge cake.
Finish
Long and oaky, sustained by sensations of dry sawdust and herbal tea.
