Dried herbs and savory spice up front, along with corn cake, cedar dresser, licorice, hay, and, with water, vanilla frosting and tree bark. Continued spice and depth on the palate, with notes of blackberry jam, chocolate bar, vanilla ice cream, and cooked prunes. Add water, and crunchy peanut butter comes through. Good length on the finish brings cinnamon spice and red fruits. It’s spicy, bold, and woody.
