  • Overall this is an awesome pour that I like to call a "rollercoaster" pour. It takes you on a journey of ups and downs throughout each sip with the flavor changing in a great way.

House Review
  • Nose:

    The nose on this one is unique! There's a plum note right up front with a dry woody smell sitting behind it. But then something unexpected comes through… a sweet sugar note, almost like cotton candy. It's a strange combo on paper but it works.

  • Taste:

    The palate is where this bottle really shines. There's a very powerful purple grape note that hits on the mid palate and then transitions into something like chocolate cake on the finish.

  • Finish:

    More chocolate cake, but the chocolate notes are light, not deep or bitter. I'd compare it to a light milk chocolate. It's subtle but it rounds the whole thing out beautifully.

  • Overall:

    Overall this is an awesome pour that I like to call a "rollercoaster" pour. It takes you on a journey of ups and downs throughout each sip with the flavor changing in a great way. You think you know where it's going and then it shifts on you. Really fun bottle to sit with.
