Nose: sweet, caramel, vanilla, molasses Taste: nice spice mid palate, doesn’t linger long though, good sweetness not over powering. Does have some reminiscences of a cab on the back end Overall: a decent bottle but not sure I’d buy more than once

Bread pudding with a tad of ethenol and faintest hints of the time spent in ex boubon casks. Light bodied in the mouth with dry, cabernet notes trying to break free. A hint of cinnamon and flash of dankness on the finish.
