Medium-deep amber, with some olive in the broad, watery rim. Medium+ intensity nose of cinnamon, sweet caramel hints and gentle oak spice. Hint of citrus. Touch of walnut and also honey. On the palate, cooked citrus first, then a smoky, nutty mid-palate with some tannins. Very dry, slightly salty, peppery, medium+ length finish. Good, but not great.
