Lots of spirit initially. Citrus, wax and nutiness emerge as it sits.  Very aggressive on the palate with lots of green fruits, citrus, heather, and cinnamon.  Lingering finish is waxy and tangy.

 

The palate was nicer than the nose.  Lots of good flavors here.  Unfortunately it isnt balanced well.  The citrus tang is just too over powering.  I tried adding some water and the nose disappeared while there was just bitter wax on the palate.
