Tasting Notes
"A creamy, bruléed nose is sharpened by some candied jalapeño (yes, this is a thing) and underpinned by flashes of wood and vanilla. Creaminess strikes again on the palate--this time with hints of savory, fines herbes and remembrances of fine, polished furniture.The finish is lingering, velvety and old-world dusty."
