Letting it open after a neck pour and evaluating after a third pour about 3 weeks later. Initial smell is of leather and oak with a hint of caramel. Tasting it yields a warm but slightly nutty taste, with a slight hint of caramel in the middle taste. Ends with a bit of extra warm leather and caramel finish. It’s a decent sipper neat or with ice, but there are better choices out there in this price range.
