Nose
Very light and soft with minimal alcohol burn despite the proof; almost non-existent on first impression.
Palate
Raisins and pears with significant pepper and spice on the palate.
Finish
Spicy backend with a strong peppery finish; described as having a bite to it.
Satisfying
A port-finished collaboration between Metallica and Wes Henderson that impresses with a lively finish but feels somewhat imbalanced between its soft entry and aggressive back end.
