70% in French oak (10% were new barrels) & 30% stainless. Decanted 45m.
Red licorice, ripe raspberry, earthy, black tea, cigar humidor, a hint of wet stone & metallic, tart cherry.
I liked this but didn't enjoy the higher ABV of 14.5%. I feel the higher ABV took away slightly from it's elegance, and the whole wine came across as a touch hot. I'd toss this away in your cellar for another 2+ years before even drinking.

Fruity, good not great. Bright up front, strong enough to get through other flavors

Super hot. A couple of years laid up should help mellow it Has the potential to be outstanding
