Tasting Notes
"Brilliant gold in color with heavy vanilla tones along with some apple and pear on the bouquet. Dried fruit notes creep out from underneath the almost artificial vanilla palate. Though the finish is mostly sweet, there are hints of medicinal and slightly acidic flavors at the end with an angular mouthfeel."
