Tasting Notes
Dark of color, the shade of deep amber – as in accounts of old. The most intense of noses, dried fruits, vanilla, honeycomb, something between wine and bourbon. The most impertinent mouth, with its voluminous body, flavors to match the aromas, ever-young acidity, and ever-present tannins.
Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.
Important notes:
