Aroma: sweet, caramel, vanilla, molasses Taste: pleasant spice in the middle, but it fades quickly; good sweetness without being excessive. There's a slight resemblance to a cabernet on the finish. Overall: A satisfactory bottle, but I'm uncertain if I would repurchase it.

Tastes like bread pudding with a slight ethanol note and the faintest hint of its time in ex-bourbon barrels. It has a light body with dry notes of cabernet trying to emerge. A touch of cinnamon and a flash of dankness on the finish.
