Really sticks to the glass .. a few slow moving legs.
Nose is dominated by the wheat... Caramel, vanilla and a hint of mint or eucalyptus...
Front is strikingly well balanced between sweetness, spice and oak. Soft, sticky mouthfeel really coats.
Solid, long finish, is mostly sweet but brings out toasted oak, honey and creme brulee.
It's really neat having been able to try various years of this offering, as it's definitely the same "juice" going in... Amazing to experience what additional aging does to it.
This one is wonderful and easy to sip. All the right notes are there, and in a wonderful balanced way.
