Big, rich, and structured. Spiced pear pie.
14 months in French oak, 45% new. Will likely be better in 3-5 years.

Not in any way worth $65. But perfect for rooftop drinking on a beautiful day like today.

Tried this one from the past that we liked but this older vintage didn’t hold up as well. Got a bit sweet in the finish. Not as balanced.

Always a solid choice. Oaky but balanced and brighter than the Haire.
