Nose: Vanilla, caramel, almonds, smells like a fresh twice-baked almond croissant. The oak is there, hints of cinnamon, and brown sugar. Very nice nose! Palate: Twice-baked almond croissant carries through on the tongue. Lots of vanilla, honey, and almond upfront. Second sip gives some oak followed by black pepper, cinnamon, orange zest, and toffee.
