2006 Bottle. Dark copper color with garnet hues on the edges. Diminished light tan head, leaving only a small ring. Big fruity sweet aroma, with prunes, apricots, plums, orange zest, dark currants and cherries. Just a hint of rum or perhaps cherry brandy. Thick, moderately oily feel. Caramel start that actually carries through to the finish. Dark cherries, plums and apricots float in and out. Pine sap to orange zest bitterness middle quaff. Fairly dry finish with some oak, toasted malt and caramel in the linger. A slow warming presence. You know the alcohol is there but it does not really draw attention to itself. I think the best way to describe this one would be... sweet and simple.
