House Review
Nose:
Honey, oak, caramel and cocoa. Nice wine note - blackberry, currant and some tannins. A little more rich than expected for the youth but theres a lot going on.
Taste:
Thin, but no heat. Lots of juicy fruits. Blackberry, currant, peach and apricot. Lots of heat, though. Searing. Honey, vanilla, light oak.
Finish:
Short, and very hot. Nice juicy berries, honey, caramel., tannins and some currant. But oh so hot.
Overall:
This was good but entirely too hot and young for what it is. Good stuff, lots of wine influence but that heat needs to be tamed.
Score:
80
