Pot Still

Chateau Latour Cask Finished

Almost pink, rich amber color. Very huge earthy sugar cane nose with subtle hints of cabernet sauvignon. Burnt brown sugar and raisiney spice. Huge rich bourbon spice totally fights sweet fruity wine notes on the palate. Frankly, I don't like this at all. The flavors don't marry and they leave a disjunct finish of cherry cough-syrup and alcohol that leaves a lasting impression of petrol.
