AJ Gubser

Nose of dark raspberries, licorice, beef fat, vanilla, menthol, and cinnamon.

Palate is quite reminiscent of raspberry jam. There is also vanilla and wood spice. Tannins are quite smooth.

This was the most dense and concentrated (and alcoholic) of the trio we tasted. A bit one dimensional now, but I'm curious where this style of CdP will go over time.
