A fair amount of sherry with sour berries, tree sap, and black peppers that is sweet and tangy with a good amount of smoke to the finish.

Tanning oil.  Peppery.  Great mouthfeel. 

Golden amber color. Deep, rich flavors on the nose with old dusty cigars, leather, apple/pear, seawater and sweet sherry. On the palate has qualities from the nose but dissapates quickly. I notice the cigar carrying over especially. Somewhat thin and bitter. Not a long draw (get some oak). Overall nice and balanced. [10/13/13]
