Nose: Raw meat marinated in a rich, sweet, barbecue sauce sat right next to smokin' hot wood fired grill. Deep and satisfying notes of sweet sherry and juicy, boozy raisins. With time both leather and hints of citrus.

Taste: Full bodied and fun. Lots of chocolate notes here. Dark chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream. Smoky, earthy cinnamon and dark sherry notes. A little dirty.

Finish: Medium long finish. Dryer now, with even more chocolate notes. Smoky chocolate and vanilla milkshake!

Comment: Dirty, smoky chocolate milkshake! Yay!

Score 87/100
