Tasting Notes
"The nose is an aromatic, sweet, and fruity mix of almond paste (marzipan), gingerbread, cooked pear, cinnamon, and allspice aromas. The medium rich palate is likewise fruity and warming, with toasty pastry notes, toffee, vanilla, white chocolate, chestnut, dates, figs, and orange blossom. A sprinkle of sweet spices, baked peach, and quince flavors linger in the finish. "
