Nose: very smokey! Peat, campfire, cedar bough. Extremely woody scent; sawdust. Some black cherry struggles through. Very earthy and pungent, almost mossy. Hint of twizzler and shoe polish. Taste: dry, medium body. Black cherry, black plum, red currants. Dried hay, tobacco, smoke is more restrained than the nose suggested. Bitter cinnamon bark. Finishes rather spicy, with heavy cloves and black pepper, bitter but warming. Very dark and earthy profile. Somewhat superficial. Would prefer more depth/richness.

Nose:black berries, smoke, liquid smoke,dusty, beef bouillon, saw dust, wet earth. Taste: dry, medium body, black berry, black plum, black cherry, and tobacco all day. Smoky and lightly Oakes. Star anis, espresso, and cloves. Finish is very bitter and slightly more acidic. Body is a little hollow and I would pass on this.

Outstanding for an inexpensive bottle! Lilac, rose petal on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced. A bit tannic, but shows smoke, leather, cherry on the palate.

Leather and smoke on the palate. Ruby color. Medium finish. Not a lot of depth to be expected out of an inexpensive bottle.
