A tad spicier and more vinous than expected on arrival, with rather a lot of cupboard and mulling spice qualities, all spice, clove etc. Then some bitter herbal notes alongside these sweeter qualities that suggest Buckfast and Jägermeister (what a combo that would be: BuckBomb anyone?). Goes on with some big notes of Cointreau, rancio, plum wine and sweetish orange marmalade notes. The spiciness hovers on the precipice of slightly too much, but never altogether goes there.
