Clear light purple. Red licorice, cherry, and oak in a punchy nose. Thin, high acid, a distinct underipe tannin and tartness renders a cranberry inflected wooden taste through a finish with bitter spots.

Clear mahogany. Dried flowers, sweet cumin, dried apricot, bouquet an intense and appealing nose. Soft texture, well balanced medium body with well structured acidity. Mixed dried fruit with wood and flecks of minerality, finishes with a long stretch through a layered toasted caramel. Rounder and lower acid than a true dry Palomino Amontillado but similar oxidized traits and less yeast flavors.

Dark deep clouded purple. Strong toasted oak and black currant nose. Medium acid and body. Oak dominates the palate with smoke and touches of vanilla obscuring sour cherry fruit. A medium length finish continues with smoked vanilla.
