Wieser Wiesky Pinot Noir 7 year old

The wine cask anoints a gentle amber hue to this natural-colored whisky that has a nose redolent of wine gums. It has a firm texture with early promises of apple and blackberry but then the flavors tumble off a cliff; a mouth-puckering bedlam of unsweetened rhubarb cough medicine licorice and aniseed. A dash of water extinguishes many of the sour notes but any redeeming qualities are weakened too leaving it bland and saggy. Hard to love this one.
