The first sniff is utterly dominated by young spirit—oranges, oranges, oranges. It's mature enough to avoid the stench of copper, but only just. Spend a bit more time with it, and the Burgandy begins to assert itself. The nose becomes increasingly complex as time goes on: candied, juicy apples, candy corn, and just a hint of mint. Plenty of fall-festival influences. On the palate, the candy corn comes across as taffy. Orange juice and rind lie atop subtle darker fruit notes I can't quite distinguish. An NAS worth checking out.
