A marriage of barrels filled between 1995 and ‘97, the spectacular nose boasts dunnage floor, ristretto, blackened oak, vanilla seed, date, cocoa powder, baking spice, leather, cigar box, chocolate brownies, and nutmeg. A surge of mouth-drawing oakiness follows flavors of caramel, walnuts, dark chocolate, and tobacco, easing into chocolate cake, leather, vanilla essence, cola, and oak tannins. Water recom- mended to unearth Red Vines and cola candy. (508 bottles)
