Tasting Notes
"A sweet nose offers candied fruit, with crème brulee, vanilla custard, and citrus zest. A somewhat oily palate then reveals peaches and cream, spice and black pepper, and a touch of hay, all followed by a distinct peanut-brittle note. A smooth, flavorful, and overall easygoing finish then follows, with a bit of heat."
