The classic caramel/baking spice notes crop up on the nose but cut with fresh apple cider. The palate follows suit, bringing pear and citrus into the fold. The body is a medium-plus premise, and while the flavor profile verges on rich and the alcohol elevated, somehow, it all integrates into more than the sum of its parts. New bottle look, dependable, delicious taste!

Oaky cotton candy. But a good version of that.

Very surprised that it's still kicking despite my less than stellar storage ... Golden hue and definitely full Malo, lees, caramel oak, and dairy on the nose with rich stone orchard fruit on the palate with only moderate minus oxidation... Still decent acidity. Pairs brilliantly with fresh bread, goat Brie, and peach preserves
