Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla and sawdust jump out at you right up front, girded with some secondary aromas of candied pecan, violets, and celery stalk. A few minutes in the glass and the candied notes give way to a more pronounced nuttiness, like a roasted peanut bouquet. About 45 minutes in the glass revealed really enticing undertones of dark cherry and just a hint of menthol. This thing is delicious to smell!

Palate

This is masculine juice. Rich and warming on the palate and with a pronounced honeyed-ethanol note. There is tannin here, and pretty rich tannin at that, which will dry out the bottom half of your teeth, but it comes without the astringency that can often make too much tannin a flavor disrupter. Here it simply adds another layer of complexity to an already lively mouthfeel. The mid-palate reveals a rich tapestry of raisin, toffee, cinnamon toast, and dark fruit custard. The finish, while relatively brief, was a burst of baked dark cherry.
