- Nose reminded me of grape jelly and "mop bucket" . A deeper more concentrated "whif" also brought about oak and tobacco (very pleasant nose). Cherry, tobacco leaf and smoky oak flavors with just a hint of strawberry. Fruit is subdued, and finish is delightful. Very smooth tannins. Well done! I imagine this will be even better on day 2.
