I found it to be a bit harsh. Alcohol bite overwhelmed most other components.

Flavors of roasted hazelnuts and almonds. Savory hint of salty peaches. Smell of Pound cake on the nose. Creamy texture. Dry and complex. 21.5% alcohol but did not seem "hot." Paired beautifully with Jamon Iberico! Outstanding!!

It shows a decent complexity with aromas of almonds, hazelnuts, caramel, coffee, cocoa and prunes, however after swirling the wine solvent-like ethyl acetate aromas dominate and mask all other notes.

Dry in the mouth, it is full-bodied and quite concentrated with a warm but balanced alcohol and a long finish.

It would be outstanding of the volatile acidity were not a bit over the top.

Dry, but flavors of caramel and burnt sugar. Rich and sophisticated.
