Tasting Notes

"Bold aromas of warm cherry pie filling, sweet spices, and saddle leather portend a rich sipping experience. The palate is indeed rather substantial, with more of the same cooked cherry notes, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. The mid palate takes on a dark chocolate turtle candy-like quality with earthy walnuts and buttery, sweet caramel flavors. That lashing of leather in the nose makes its way into the finish, which goes long and spicy with a touch of fruity tang and toasty oak. "
