Rustic on first blush, with smoky, lightly baked berry fruit aromas. It’s rubbery and grabby in the mouth, with sweet caramel and brown sugar accents to the core baked berry fruit flavors. Toasty and peppery on the finish, then sweet as it fades out. A little hot at 14.8% alcohol. ——M.S.(11/1/2011)—— 87
