Nose of salty bacon, powerful alcohol, with a slight hint of chocolate. Taste of sour cherries, cranberries, spicy, woody, with a hint of sweetness. Low tannins makes it easy to drink. Sweetness in the aftertaste, but not too much complexity.

I like the cherry vanilla and currant notes that you notice first, along with some oak - medium body, smooth tannins and finish. Great balance. Delicious!

Very rich nose with a strong initial burst of flavor. Somewhat high acidity diminishes the overall enjoyment but a solid finish

Delish! Amazing gift from Tommy. Oakes berry nose that matches the palate incredibly. Love!!! Paired lovely with thick cheesy everything pizza. Enhanced the oak goodness.

Dark ruby in color with a purple rim.
Nice and aromatic on the nose with smoky blueberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, green peppers, oak, cloves, eucalyptus, licorice, dirt and white pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with nice looking legs and a Great mouth feel.

Fruity on the palate and dry, with blackberries, black currants, cherries, cola, plums, cedar, licorice, black pepper and herbs.

Long finish with full tannins and peppercorn.

I really liked how smooth it is after opening up. Very enjoyable by itself or with red meats.

Dramatically changed after an hour in the decanter, so I would really recommend not drinking it for a while until it opens up.
Would be better in a couple of years, but it's very drinkable right now, nice and balanced.

13.9% alcohol in volume.
