Tasting Notes
"Crème brûlée on vanilla pudding lead off on the nose, along with brown sugar dusted over warm oatmeal, licorice, and rye spice. The palate offers tannic oak, leather, bitter baker's chocolate, tart berries, and cloves. The finish is warming and lengthy, with barrel char, wood shavings, salted caramel, and coffee grounds."
