The nose has notes of red apples, ripe peaches, and hints of pumpkin, nutmeg, and oak. The taste is smooth and fruity with red apple pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and a honey sweetness. The finish is dry and slightly sweet with honey and hints of nutmeg and cardamom spices. Very nice. (November, 2013)
