The  nose is sweet with fruity touches of peaches, apples, and red grapes, along with honey, vanilla, and subtle spices underneath. The taste has good spicy touches of cinnamon and chili powder with fruity notes of red apples, peaches, vanilla, and brown sugar in good balance. The finish is slightly dry with lingering fruity notes and soft spices. Very nice. (July, 2014)
