Nose: Real ripe fruitalicious, juicy fruit gum. Angel food cake and fresh made whipped cream. Christmas pudding. Nice backbone of oak standing up to the fruit, cabinet spices, black peppercorn, fresh coriander, nutmeg, cardamom which tiptoes to chai.

Palate: Oaky bubble gum, new product coming at ya! A one two punch. Big oak, with big spices. I happen to like that so bring it. Still a touch bitter.

Rating: 5 / 10 – I like oak. But no depth and no complexity. I genuinely want to like this more, but the finish has a sour note that is hard to chill with.
