Fruity nose.  Touch of citrus and grapefruit and vanilla in the nose. 
Lemon and vanilla mouthfeel.  Crisp. Like a lemon drop or good lemon candy in beer format.

Adventurous

I had the 2015 and had a chance to also drink the Mischievous Zin by the same people.  As usual good smoke and spice on the nose and finish.  The mouthfeel in the adventurous though is more subdued vanilla spice compared to the berry in the mischievous.  Overall am probably going to recommend the mischievous more often to guests at my store.
