3rd Party Tasting Notes
On the nose it brings ripe banana, candied chestnuts, cinnamon and hints of pine. As you continue to sniff, there's a distinct warming woodiness that reminds one of a forest. These combine with a center palate woodiness, sandalwood and gentle spice, before sweet cherries cut through the more savory notes, leading to a floral, spring-like finish.
