Top Notes For
Rounder, richer, riper fruits on the nose. Blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, cedar, baking spices, anise and violet & lilacs. Palate has huge tannins and full bodied. Serious alcohol burn, over oaked, tons of baking spices; clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla. Crushed rocks, nice florals of lavender & lilacs, rich black earth, spice packed, tough leather, graphite, good acidity and hot alcohol finish burning the s**t out of the back of my throat. Did not enjoy their implementation of a 100% new oak nor the hot alcohol burn on the finish. I will never understand it. Where is the elegance?
