Nose: Big oak and concentrated cherry cola and cloves.
Palate: Surprisingly light initially on the palate given the nose but explodes with life on a bigger sip. Cola cubes, raspberry licorice ropes. Not terribly complex but quite drinkable for those who like a lick of oak without getting to tannic.
Rating: 7 / 10 – I would easily drink this without over-thinking it. I probably would only buy a bottle if it was priced right but it’s a very nice pour. Might be closer to a 6 than 7 on some days.
