SMWS 6.44 ("Summer Garden Adventures")

Color: Light straw Nose: Untoasted marshmallows with a fresh bouquet of garden flowers. Some citrus, like lemon tarts or key lime pie. Palate: Cake icing, marmalade, and fresh grass. Oily mouthfeel with tons of sweetness and candied fruit. Some light hints of brown sugar and cinnamon -- sweet, sweet, sweet. Finish: Some oak, with surprising heat. The finish is dry, without any of the fruit or much of the sweetness. With water: Nose is even more floral. Richer as well, with stronger fruit notes. Sweetness still there on the palate, but easier to find the spices -- like a frosted cinnamon roll. Not much finish to speak of.
