Nose - pleasant smell of apple and pears, sugar, no burn on the nose Taste - very smooth, caramel and pear, some stone fruit kicks for a quick sec Finish - moderate length and changes flavor as it keeps going, more pear and then charred caramel, sugar, almost no burn Score - 4.5, pricey but damn good. I feel lucky to have finally found this one Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
