"Pale golden amber color. Delicate aromas of powdered sugar, anise cookie, olive, and hard cheese rind follow through on a round, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with nectarine tart, orange peel, cola, and pepper spice notes. Finishes with a graceful, charred pepper and vanilla cream accented fade." Gold Medal.

"Creamy custard, caramelized roasted pecans, and sweet brown spice aromas. A round, satiny entry leads to a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium-to full body of dried pineapple, flan, charred nuts, white pepper and spice flavors. Finishes with a powdered sugar, whipped cream, and talc fade. A delicate and sweet style for sipping on the rocks or cocktails."

"The bouquet features zesty aromas of green chili peppers and asparagus with touches of vanilla/oak, palm oil and almonds. The palate entry is sweetish and oaky; at midpalate a delicious buttery taste underpins flavors of oak, light spice and sautéed almond. Finish is elegant, long and satiny." 90-95 pts.
