Nose hits the darker register with caramel, molasses, cocoa, autumn leaves and a side of sun-warmed hay. No complaints. The smoothness of the palate is a nod to the 7yr age statement. Honey, vanilla, sawdust, leather…apple and mild lemon. A still life in a lumberyard. Finish is tannic and medicinal with spearmint and something smoky like mesquite. Finally, a solid BiB from my adjacent state. I feel proud.
