Very woody, stemmy musty aromas. Some spice and a bit of vanilla slips through, but it difficult to pick up. In the mouth, a bit woody. Finish is short. Consistent notes with the last time it was tasted. Still disappointing. Perhaps try leaving for another year to see how it developes, but will likely be beyond its life

Aromatic, toasty, roasted, smoky, coffee and cherry nose. Ripe upfront and assertive with balanced acid and good grip to the finish. 13.4% abv
