T8KE's Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich oak opens with layers of toasted oak, honey, flan, imposing oak and delicate spice notes. Mocha meets blackberry and currant, stewed fruits and dates. Candied ginger takes a back seat to black pepper, toasted oak spice and pepper and faint espresso notes. Excellent complexity among spices, marrying deep, dark fruits and decadent dessert notes.  

• Taste:  Viscous and layered, silky texture on the palate that is rich and prolonged. Creme brûlée and black pepper meets fig and stewed caramel, apple butter and mocha. The tannin is richer, more integrated, balances agains the dessert, fruits and spice.

• Finish: Deep and sustained: cola, currant, fig, black pepper, espresso and stewed fruits and almond cream carries.

• Overall:  No escape.
