The nose is nicely complex, warm and spicy with notes of allspice, white pepper, honey, and baked apples. It’s like a movie trailer that has all of the good stuff in it. The taste is tart and spicy with lemon zest and a hint of grapefruit, cinnamon, black pepper, honey, and oak. The finish is hot and spicy with a long black pepper note and a touch of citrus tartness. However, it is better than the movie. (June, 2014)
