This smells like Christmas - rum raisin bread pudding with a vanilla-laden sauce, cinnamon and spices, candied ginger, toasted nuts. The delivery mostly delivers on the nose's promises - fruity, plummy, lush...and remarkably thin and short-lived. My God, to give a nose this good and a flavor this fleeting - it ought to be criminal. It almost ruins the experience, if I'm being honest here. I want to love this one; I'm willing to wager that if it were bottled at a higher ABV and not chill-filtered, it would be top shelf material. As it is, though, this gets a very reluctant 4 stars, mostly because I could nose a dram like this all day long.
