Excellent balance. The nose was eucalyptus, graphite, fresh cherries and strawberries, and over time the nose turned a little more toward cocoa powder and vanilla. The palate was concentrated and repeats oak spice with smooth sweet tannins that are big enough to indicate some aging potential. Not over oaked and not a fruit bomb, but ripe with oak spice. Pretty good value at $16 in Ontario.

Chocolate, stewed black fruit, 5 Spice, cigar humidor. This had peaked but it was still quite enjoyed.
