"(aged in new and used large French oak barrels) Inky ruby. Expressive, oak-accented dark berry, licorice and pipe tobacco aromas are complemented by vanilla and rose pastille qualities. Intense black currant and bitter cherry flavors show impressive depth and a smooth, supple personality. Clings with strong tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, which leaves behind peppery spice and dark chocolate notes. - Josh Raynolds"
