Chemical aroma, and musty; but both of these are light. Also smells of cherry Sucrets, black pepper, and orange; and the chemical character is fading. There is some darker red fruit too, dried black plum, and some cinnamon. The taste is really spicy, with cinnamon and dates. Medium bodied and reasonably sweet, with warmth in the finish. It is improving with time, and later there was some nice cellar aroma. 93 points. (18 Nov 23)
