The nose is spicy and aromatic with notes of black pepper, clove, toasted oak, honey, and grilled steak. The taste has great spices, with touches of chili powder and black pepper that change to cinnamon with hints of honey underneath. The finish is long, slow to fade, and spicy. Excellent! (August, 2014)
