"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.

"Aroma is herbal, with a trace of honey, then blossoms into a bouquet that’s peppery, herbal, waxy, floral. Palate is medium-bodied, oily, resiny, herbal and semisweet, with balanced flavors of green pepper, red pepper, toffee and honey. Finishes gracefully." 96-100 pts.

"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."
