Tasting Notes
"Black cherry vanilla ice cream leads on the nose, followed by cocoa powder and stewed meats. The meaty side then leads on the palate, shifting to fruit jam, then dry oak, all interlaced with berries, burnt caramel, and a tart tinge. A resoundingly smooth finish showcases maple syrup atop chocolate-chip pancakes, a quick note of black pepper, and tannic-woodiness, with the sweetness most prominent and lingering."
