The nose is aromatic with notes of mango, papaya, tangerine, orange peel, and hints of vanilla and oak. The taste is fruity and syrupy-thick with orange peel, mango, subtle cardamom and cinnamon spices, and just a hint of smokiness. The finish is lingering and tantalizing with subtle complexity and a nice oakiness. Excellent! (May, 2015)
