Great nose of sweet vanilla, baking spice, and caramel. The palate is reminiscent of GTS-sweet, rich, fruity, subtle and smooth oak. Long finish that’s a bit dry with cacao, chocolate covered cherries, spice, and molasses. Not cheap at $200 but definitely worth having on your shelf!
Addendum: I’ve read some of the lower rates reviews and understand where they are coming from on the initial palate. This one needs to open up for at least 15-20 minutes. The palate intensifies exponentially after this and you will get a flavor explosion in your mouth that is hard to handle! Trust me-try it after it opens up. It’s amazing!

Finally, thank you for cracking this open! I’ve looked at it longingly time and again but couldn’t justify the desire to go for it. This has me looking again...
