Tasting Notes
"Toasted oak aromas slowly come in, and give way to dried plums, dark chocolate, and juicy strawberries. The palate is unexpectedly smooth and rich. Dark chocolate softens to milk, more berries shine through, and a little burst of citrus joins in. Dark, thick caramel and vanilla notes bring a medium finish. "
