Tasting Notes
"The nose offers grapes dusted and macerated in sugar, pears, and bubblegum. The palate is oily and waxy, showcasing lemon, honey, hay, and burnt caramel, all followed by a drier, spicy flourish towards the back. The finish is short in length, with tannic oak, barrel char, cacao nibs and coffee grounds, pecans, and a softly simmering smoke."
