Full on and really nice. Plums, cherries, leather, cedar. It's a big boy.

Color- med/deep ruby

Nose- a raspberry, blackberry, slight floral note

Palate- raspberry, plum,boysenberry, high fine tannin. Long finish with smoke. Something falls a bit short for me.

Color:dark ruby

Nose: red cherry, blueberry, blackberry, licorice/rosemary


Long finish lingering cedar, slightly bitter alcohol.

Cherry camphor, slight bitter alcohol in mid, tight grippy long lasting tannins. Flavor drops off mid way, feels like part of it disappeared.

Amazing shelf life on this one. Tobacco, blackberry, smoke, leather. It was interesting for a full week.
