Tasting Notes:

Soft amber color. Cinnamon and raisins on the nose with some candied apple and caramel. Very well integrated flavors on the palate. Smooth and medium bodied. Notes of tart apples, soft vanilla, light caramel, bold baking spices (clove and cinnamon). On the finish there is a note of nutmeg, soft spicy oak, and vanilla.
