Reddish amber in color. A nose of perfume, pine, dates, peaches, cloves, and orange peel. Measured, smooth opening that blossoms into a rich mouthfeel. Overall remains medium in body. Raisin, silky oak, lemon, and spice notes. On the back of the palate, transitions to leather, some smoke, licorice, and smooth, warm heat. There is a lot going on here--complex with several layers. Tails with hints of jasmine, rice pudding, and green tea with a long 3-4 minute finish. Tasted 5/6/2007.
