Berries in a smokey, spice box. Good but not great.

Well yeah smells like berries. Cooked ones. With a little wet pavement. Flavor is more cooked fruit. Plums and blackberries. Pretty smokey. A hint of apple butter perhaps. Kinda hot. Not wimpy, but a bit too soupy for the complex, super interesting category.

Fantastic. Berries and a peppery oak comes through in the finish. I like this one a lot and will drink again.

Spicy, smokey and full-bodied blend. Strong overtones of black cherry.

Dark tart Bertie on the nose, acid nice acid and tannins with berries behind. Finish is of tobacco and dry, peppery.
