When first opened, you get a whiff of this one and wonder, “what the heck am I drinking?” This one is loaded with lots of green vegetable matter on the nose … thankfully, that blows off in about 20 minutes and reveals something more than drinkable. The nose is blackberries and tobacco leaf, invitingly so – while the palate has red fruit, vanilla, and a sweet cherry-tobacco-Old Port cigar like flavours – very pleasant. And of course those flavours carry through to the end with a sweetish finish. The length is short-lived, but that just means you have to dip back into the well for another sip sooner. Allow this one to breathe for about 30 minutes before drinking … then sip away.
