With a splash of cool water, the wine soaked oak came to life. Dark chocolate and leather, raisins and oranges, espresso and maple, all are found here.
On the palate, there are evolving notes of chewy toffee, ripe fruit (oranges, golden raisons), chocolate covered nuts, multigrain toast, and polished oak. Long, soothing finish.

House Review
Nose:
Super pungent, meaty sherry. Prunes, figs, rich toffee. Massive stewed fruits, tobacco and nougat. Powerful, earthy, more fruit and cocoa driven sherry rather than butterscotch and light berry driven.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. No real heat, despite the proof. Figs, dates, pepper and tobacco are prominent with a rich cocoa and currant structure.
Finish:
Long, rich and loaded with notes like pipe tobacco, cocoa, rich blackberry and currant jam. Figs and dates abound.
Overall:
Really a phenomenal product, and one that myself, along with many others, miss dearly.
