This is a very powerful and yet spicy and nuanced bottling. Lush aromas of black cherry, caramel, coffee, cream and baked licorice show on the nose, while the viscous palate is packed with black-cherry cordial, licorice and mocha cream flavors. Firm tannins give balance to the brown sugar kick of the finish.
