Nose: Dried fruit, grapes with a spicy holiday note. Taste: Spice jumps around your mouth like a machine band in the summer. Dried cherries and holiday spice helps a soft oak. It’s a rich, full bodied attack of flavor that hits you like a blind a buss driver. Finish: The spice hangs on long after the gold goes down. The dried fruit also continues to linger around like that friend who won’t leave your house at 4am. Good buy. Don’t be scared to feel off that beautiful black wax to get that liquid gold.
