Outstanding without a cigar, but sublime with a robust cigar. Nose is loaded with orange, dark chocolate, raisins, ripe figs and more raisins! Amazing nose. Orange zest and baking spices on the palate. Very long finish. Turn off the TV, throw some logs on the fire, open up the humidor and pick out something special, and then pour a dram of this on a snowy January Saturday afternoon in Chicago to kick off the new year!
