A very interesting nose. Fruity and malty and even a little oak as well. Perhaps a little vanilla was well. The taste is quite dry and peppery and warming. There are some of the fruits from the nose as well. I get some sherry notes as well. Nice balance and a fruity, spicy finish (cloves and cinnamon). Maybe some mint in the finish as well. With time a little chocolate develops along with the mint in the taste as well. After Eight mint anyone? Way better than the 8 year old expression I tried a few years ago (and I believe they have since pulled - which was a good idea). Overall very drinakable and rewards a little patience.
