Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of black pepper in honey syrup, freshly sawn green pine, and chai tea with star anise with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish that exhibits touches of honey and modeling clay, sweet tea and spices, and pine. Youthful and very woody; smells rather like sipping a spicy tea while walking through a grove of aspens.
