Tawny coloration.
On the nose, forest floor, spice, vanilla, florals, dark cherry and earthiness.
On the palate, forest floor, green pepper, vanilla, blackberry, tannins still present, good structure still. Very nice blend.

Wasn't feeling it. Couldn't finish my glass because it just didn't do much for me. Maybe I need to go back to Tennessee Whiskey 🥃 for a few weeks.

Never really came around. Pretty tight and tannic. Even with an hour or so air. Good base quality of fruit but never totally delivered.
