Nose

Great balance between fruit and oak. Sandalwood, cedar wood, candied oranges, butterscotch. Traces of gingersnap, white wine and raisins. Medium sweet and medium intensity. Complex and balanced, great.

Palate

Everything in the nose translated over to the palate. Everything is in perfect harmony with each other with sandalwood, candied oranges, butterscotch, raisins and white wine again. Medium bodied and flavored. Texture is velvety. It’s great!

Finish

Medium with oak and ginger. Medium sweet.
