Fruity aroma with bitter fruit quality; not immediately pleasant but intriguing.

Surprising fruitiness with nectarine and apricot sweetness; cinnamon candy and fig Newton cookie character; lush and fruit-forward; minimal pepper despite rye character; juicy fruit quality persists.

Long, rich, and mouthwatering with persistent oak and wood notes; the fruit hangs around on the front palate even as oak dominates the back; draws you back for more sips.
