The aroma is beautifully sweet, complex, and dense, like maple syrup but with a hint of something else. Red wine sweetness is definitely present. It's an explosion of flavor on the tongue, matching the aroma well. Smoky with a tannic bitterness beneath the sweet wave, quite rich, with a tingling finish that's a little peppery. Almost perfect, as is typical from Westland. Wonderful.
