They could not believe how wonderful it was. Smooth and silky. Dominated by cherry with hints of smoke and spice. Wonderful long finish. We are so glad we bought heavy on this one...will enjoy it for a couple more years at least. |

But after he came back to it in another 30-40 minutes, he really bagan to like it. Definitely give it time in the decanter. We think it is a very nice blend. |
