The nose is fruity, like a tropical dessert seasoned with vanilla syrup, a pinch of shredded ginger, and a spoonful of cinnamon. Throughout is a tinge, and only a tinge, of wood. A slick sipper with a spicy and sweet character, as in spicy first, sweet later. The cinnamon, ginger and vanilla are now buttressed by a peppery current, fading to a wet, sweet tobacco note.
