2022 Total Wine SiB Pick Pours a burnt honey color, oily legs sticking to my glencairn. Nose: Cherry licorice, vanilla, ethanol feel but pleasant red fruit, strawberry cheesecake, sweet. Taste: Grain heavy, dry, honey but no sweetness or fruit that I was expecting from nose. Definite oak and burnt cereal, like roasted Honey Nut Cheerios. Finish: Fairly short, slight pepper, some bitterness. Overall: 3/5, the nose was the most pleasant part of the pour. The taste was “fine” after the expectation of fruit and sweetness from the nose was thrown away, but the finish left too much bitterness lingering as the final note.
