Aged 1 year (afaik) in Pappy van Winkle barrels. Says its from Spain not Australia on the bottle, not sure where the description for the wine came from.

Very subtle bourbon hints. Well balanced, blackberry notes. Enjoyed with a maduro cigar.

Really reminded me grape soda. Super plush body, over the top aromatics.

Fruit bomb. Very little barrel. Barely any tannins, lower acidity, but not sweet. I hate myself for loving this so much.

Just gorgeous. Rich, diverse, changing, dense and powerful. Perfect balance, walnut aftertaste. Wow.
