All raisins on the nose. Wow, there is a lot going on here. The first sip was thin entry, bitter midpallet, then intense plums, pepper, and more on the back. Long medium sweet aftertastes with a pleasant long lasting, but mild burn. Second look: there is some pepper on the nose, then raisins. After that identical to the first. The initial explosion on the back of the pallet makes a guy believe in magic. But the aftertaste of bitter plums convinces you otherwise. The third sip was as consistent as the first two. I would totally buy a bottle of this because that explosion on the back is so unique. Then I would regret buying it after every drink.
