Nose
Red wine dominates with notes of cherry, strawberry, caramel, toffee, and dark fruits, alongside hints of oak, vanilla, and baking spices. Some detect vintage leather, candied orange peel, and even a touch of glue or wood varnish.
Palate
Bold and fruity with flavors of red wine, grapes, cherries, and plums. Caramel, toffee, and vanilla from bourbon maturation are present, interwoven with spicy, dry woodiness, cloves, and dark chocolate. Some experience a tannic burn and a sticky mouthfeel.
Finish
Long, warming, and dry, with persistent spicy wood tannins, tobacco leaf, and red fruit notes. The old wine character lingers, accompanied by hints of eucalyptus, leather, and clove.
