PnP with notes of black licorice, black currant, bitter cacao, slate, granite, and a faint hint of star anise. Some chalk and alcohol on the back end, but nothing astringent or sharp. Just a bit of a…
PnP with notes of plum, black cherry, red and black currant, and a hint of cedar. Straightforward on the attack, with a fairly simple flavor profile carrying through to the finish. Maintained its…
