Tasting Notes
"The nose is like leather-bound books had been stored in an attic with sachets of baking spices and dried fruits. The palate has a cherry cough syrupy fruitiness and denseness to it, with loads of dusty spices and cracked leather. The leatheriness leads the finish, with hints of dried cherry and spice. "
