8.8

Aromatic with red and blue fruit, sarsaparilla smoke and a hint of violet aromas. On the palate it's light bodied, lean, fresh and slightly tannic with red cherry, blueberry and a bit of blackberry flavors. Approachable now. I think would benefit from a couple of more years in the bottle.

Baked red fruit. Extracted, too high alcohol. Possibly heat damaged.
