95 Points

Wednesday, February 14, 2018 - Intoxicating aromas billow from the glass giving scents of white fig, quince paste, apple butter and poached pear that fold in notes of clove, nutmeg, toasted marshmallow, vanilla bean, caramelized sugar, toasty oak and hints of tobacco, lemon meringue and delicate white flowers.

The palate is alive and quite stunning; Structured with acidity, alcohol and density. Flavors show complex notes that mimic the nose with quince paste, fig, lemon meringue and apple butter that weave completely with the nuances of clove and nutmeg spice, toasted oak, caramelized marshmallow, vanilla, creme brûlée, sweet tobacco and white flowers. The finish lingers allowing all flavors to play out the spice and quince notes with lingering acidity.

A Classic!
