Blue Note Crossroads Straight, 50%
Price: $45 ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: Ted Simmons
Finished in French oak. Dried herbs, grape candies, saddle leather, blueberry muffin, and new wood on the nose, with chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted caramel emerging over time. Wood drives the palate further alongside vanilla wafer, cooked dark fruits, and spiced dark chocolate. There is more sweetness on the finish as well as solid spice characteristics.Best Values
