Tasting Notes: The nose is Christmas spice. Roasted almonds with cinnamon, brown sugar and anise. With a little bit of water it turns to dried strawberries. The pallet is toasted oak up front. It's mildly sweet but progresses to black pepper and cloves. The finish is long! It lingers with baking spice and oak.
