Assertively maple-forward and persistent. Very prominent maple syrup aroma. Initial intensity diminishes slightly with air. Retains strong aromatic character.

Considerably richer and more complex than at the one-month check-in. Nuttiness developed substantially with French oak influence evident. Palate elevation is marked. Sweet and engaging.

Long and satisfying finish. More developed than the initial tasting. Integrated maple influence rather than overpowering sweetness.
