Tad hot, but this is a bold wine that reminds of aged port with raisin and leather notes. This may not have much cellar time remaining, likely time to drink up.

Very large barrel flavor, if you don't like Bourbon you will not enjoy this. If you enjoy barrel aged anything this is a treat.

An odd but interesting wine. Very aged flavors with hint of cigar box like old Bordeaux. Sweet fruit and high alcohol. My friend said it was like a dry vintage port. Winery says they give it multiple oak treatments with various oak chips to mimic chemistry of old Bordeaux. Worth trying if you can get it. Got mine at the winery in Palisade.
