"The bouquet features deep notes of butterscotch, nougat, almond paste and light vanilla. The palate entry offers succulent flavors of almond paste, candy and oaky vanilla; the midpalate is woody, caramel-like, with hints of dried yellow fruit, white pepper and spice. Finishes balanced, sweet and oaky." 90-95 pts.

"The bouquet offers potent spirity notes atop more subtle marshmallow and toffee scents. The palate entry is robust, nutty, semisweet and honeyed; by the midpalate stage the taste profile is nougaty, mildly cocoa-like, Sherried and marzipan-like. Concludes with flavors of dried red fruits, Sherry and dark caramel. A guilty pleasure of a sweetfest." 90-95 pts.
