Fruit a plenty and big spice aromas. Cherry and ripe plum flavors with tea and pepper spice with fine tannins. Good balance with acidity, medium finish ending with sweet spice notes. An easy drinking crowd pleaser. Tasting Sample.

Hints of black cherry and raspberry, detect some plum and spice, barrels were most likely french with a touch of vanilla, there was a westerly wind coming from the pine trees that day in 2018, the moon was waxing and the mayflies were rampant. Overall a very tasty experience!

Fruity nose suggests something good might be contained in the glass. Unfortunately, palate is wholely unpleasant. Mega fail. Maybe this case got too hot during shipping.
Revised after 15 minutes: after opening up (or maybe palate waking up) much more pleasant. Red fruit, bramble, wood and a touch of smoke and tobacco. Decent.

Just ok. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Very minerally and a bit of a sour aftertaste. Not my fave.
