Nose - White wine poached pears, candied ginger & orange zest, milk chocolate, raisins, golden raisins, cognac vibes Taste - Chocolate, raisins, sweet vermouth, candied ginger, orange zest, hint of dried sour/tart cherries, sweet white wine poached pears, hint of red wine poached pears for a hint of tannic/dark chocolate/leather note, burnt sugar Finish - Gentle warmth, hint of salt, light nutty bitterness, feels like a dried fruit & nut mix, light tart dried cherries, long lingering old brandy/cognac vibe Score - 91/100 Final Thoughts - The nose on this one was quite nice. There was quite a lot going on and I feel as if there's a good mix of different types of casks going on here as I get various aromas that come in waves of sweet raisins, golden raisins, dark aged wine, brandy/cognac vibes, and a hint of bright sweet white desserty wine. Great nose, palate was nice with the gentle spice/warmth that hits you from the start but isn't too overwhelming. Feels like a good mix of dark stone fruits and dark chocolate with enough poached pear and wine influence to keep it from being too overly sweet. Great finish, although a bit on the bitter side. I typically like this in a finish, but it didn't feel as cohesive as it could've been. Feels like there's a good mix of ex-bourbon, sauternes, cognac/brandy, red wine, and a few oloroso sherry and maybe a PX thrown in there for good measure. Good mix, but not the best Black Art I've had. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Not another for the price NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.
