Deep purple colour. Not much on the nose at first, but it opens up about an hour after decanting, with berry and spice aromas. There is good fruit here, and the promised smoky vanilla notes from the Bourbon cask maturation is noticeable. Finishes rather short though.

That's kinda boring. Mostly Merlot. Probably better to be boring.

Very similar to the last tasting experience, it's mostly oak juice with some red cherry...

Super concentrated oak juice with background red fruit, easy pass.
