"Aromas of honeysuckle, saddle soap, dried cherries, pine cone, oily nuts, sandalwood, and peppery spices follow through on a round, supple entry to a rich medium-full body with sea salt, buttery praline, and tilled earth notes. Finishes with a long, rich honeyed oatmeal, nutmeg, and cola nut fade with a wisp of dried plantain and limestone. Interesting and decadent." Gold Medal.

"Rich, golden amber color. Sweet, rich sweet golden raisin, prune, fig, vanilla, and caramel aromas. A smooth entry leads to a rich dryish full-bodied palate with coconut, caramel, and rich brown spices. Finishes with a long spicy dried fruit fade. Forward and rich, yet gentle and balanced with a lovely Sherry character."
