Five Star Wine and Liquor President’s Day Pick
Nose - Bright candied cherry. Like as if maraschino cherries sat in the barrel. Slight hint of leather very bright oakiness. Hints of vanilla. Little bit of toasted char.
Palate - More leather, more oak, and an addition of walnuts. The walnut flavor is subtly sweet giving illusions to candied walnuts. The feel is very bright and light, careful not to overburden your mouth with so much denseness. Toasted sugar is also there, like eating just the top of a creme bru le. Minimals amount of caramel here and there.
Finish - Finish is warm, near perfect for where a finish should be….in my opinion. It lasts for a moderate time and provides this comfortable warmth in you. On the way down it is complimented with more hints of leather, oak, and vanilla.
