Nose

Black cherry, damson jam, sweet balsamic, cedar and oude wood. Fragrant Christmas candle: lots of intense dried orange, cinnamon and clove.

Palate

Medium bodied. Not too much tingle, given the ABV. Sweet black tea, lots more orange and something of a mulled wine element. Lingonberry jam and more black cherry with blackberry.

Finish

Medium-short. Gently drying, fading on orange and clove.

Comment

Tasty, but has a tendency to fade away a touch quickly for my liking.
