Nose
Very spicy and full bodied with hints of apple sweets, sherbet and cinnamon. Maybe a touch of cloves, with raspberries.

Full bodied and very rounded in the mouth with loads of spiciness – a big rush of chilli spice, sweetness and herbs with just a touch of wood late palate.
Finish
Strong, complex, herbal finish.
