Caramelized and candied nuts. Savory herbs. Spices. A bit elderly but balanced. Again glass was important.

A wonderful sweet nose. A mouthful of explosive flavors. You taste the wheat along with sweet caramels and toffees. Finished off with a mouth watering smooth spice.

Awesome. Caramel on the nose. Very smooth. Some fire but not overwhelming. Long finish. A very pleasurable experience.
