Thursday, August 14, 2008 - Dinner with friends (Mado, chicago IL): real nice solid golden color
nose: well balanced nose of marzipan, orange peels, bits of butterscotch, crisco tones, cashews, and bits of caramel
taste: very smooth with a bit of fatness to it with flavors of marzipan, crisco tones, caramel, and some orange peel notes with an upfront attack of butterscotch
overall: wonderfully smooth with silky transitions. This is in a wonderful place right now with a smooth and upfront butterscotch attack that gives way to a marzipan transition and finishes off with a fat crisco oil finish. This is just a lot of fun to drink right now
