Beverage Testing Institute 88 Highly Recommended
Rich copper color. Lovely aromas of warm caramel, dried apple, cocoa, and spice. A soft, silky entry leads to a round, dry yet fruity medium body of dried orchard fruits and peppery spice flavors. Finishes with a touch of tobacco and charred barrel minerality enveloped by chocolate covered fruit and spice. A dry, reserved style for sipping with cigars.
