Nose: Delicate but loaded with ripe fruit: apple & pear (calvados), allspice & nutmeg, plum, a little sherried dark fruit, juicy fruit gum with a touch of fingernail polish. Palate: Raspberries, apple, pear, & spice ala calvados, honeyed vanilla, youthfull grain character and barrel spice. Sour apples and baking spice again on the finish. This one hits and fades quick but the finish lingers like a sour apple lifesaver.
