Oh man, this stuff is special! It seemed to nose a little thin to where I was only picking up a little bit of caramel and raisin. But the taste can only be described as full, buttery, and rich! I would love to have this with a nice steak and some crab legs or shrimp. The buttery taste of this is what stands out accompanied by tones od dried fruit and leather, carrying all for a long finish. An extremely pleasant poor that I will come back to you again and again. Well worth the $65 I spent on it. This is one to keep as a “go to”.
