Aug 4th, 2015Clear, medium tawny intensity, noticeable legs
Nose is clean and developed with obvious oxidative character, aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and orange peel.
The palate is off dry, with medium- acidity, high alcohol, and a full body. Flavor intensity medium+ with a complex array of caramel, leather, licorice, roasted oranges, and ginger. The finish is long with a slight l tang from the salty but mostly savory-sweet finish.
Outstanding quality.

Big, rice and some slightly bitter nuttiness. Drying on palate and somewhat harsh on finish.

Apr 4th, 2015Gotta say the nose and the first sip are incredible. The next several swigs become overwhelming with that level (bottle said 21%) of alcohol. Felt like I punched in my sherry hole.
