NOSE: Caramel frosting, oak, toffee, grits, vanilla, white grape juice, green coffee beans, pastries and dark fruits with a hint of baking spice. The wine notes pop a bit and as it opens a hint of copper shows along with a deeper wine presence. PALATE: Oak, toffee, grits, vanilla taffy, coffee beans, white grape juice, pastries and dark fruits with a hint of cocoa and baking spice. The Thomas S. Moore Bourbon Cabernet Sauvignon Casks’ fruity grapey sweetness dies down a tad here. Though it’s far from removed and makes the underlying bourbon more pronounced. FINISH: Med-long -> Oaky, spicy, fruity with a touch of cocoa on an easy grapey fade.
