Nose: Bright, citrusy start that evolves into seriously rich dried dark fruit, salted chocolate, light caramel and some wispy smoke. 8.5 Palate: Phenomenal immediately. The perfect amount of richness, sweetness, and depth of flavor. Water doesn't change much other than to mellow it out a bit. Not needed, but doesn't take anything away. 9.5 Finish: Rice Crispies, orange rind, and cinnamon bring things home. Not excessively long. 7 Final Rating: 34.5 / 40
