A great quaff if we’ve ever tasted one: Its mouthfeel is medium-weight and soft; it shows a little restraint on the nose, but eventually reveals cherry, cedar and blackberry accents. More cherry shows up on the palate, hand-in-hand with dark berry, tobacco and cinnamon notes. Finishes with wood and a bit of tang—some called it metallic, others minty.——W.E.(10/1/2001)—— 88
