Front of the bottle is pretty boring. Back is detailed and pretty nice. Wine is dark and pretty in the glass. Smells dense and extracted. Molasses and burn sugar meets menthol and unsmoked cigars. Very little on the fruit side of things. Flavors are rich and full. Plenty of smoke and tomato leaves. Bit of black fruits like currants and berries of the cane. Also has black and/or green pepper. The oaky side is there too. I like this even if it is a bit heavy handed and ‘big’.
