Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with reddish-copper hue from wine cask influence; heavy legs
Nose
Deep honeyed sweetness with mulled wine, light tannins of grape skins. Candied orange, blueberry, licorice, honey, and salted caramel
Palate
Dense, dark sweetness — honey, bird's eye chillies, mulled wine, grape gummies, grape skins. Rich cinnamon and clove with a touch of menthol. Between big red wines and port in character. Full-bodied with wine cask tannin structure
Finish
Medium-long finish with rich milk chocolate, cinnamon warmth, and fading grape skin tannins. Honey and salted caramel linger. Wine cask character persists through the entire experience
