It opened with nutty edge, then moved into soft fruit without losing balance. I'd happily choose it again.

Took my time with the bottle after letting it sit for a few minutes. It opened with malted sweetness and stayed pleasant, but the finish disappeared quickly. Still a good pick and one I'd have again.
fruity - spicedI had mixed expectations for the bottle. Warm oak showed up early, while malted sweetness carried through the finish. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.
