2006 vintage. Strong rancio character, strong nuttiness and acidity. Tastes like a pecan and walnut baklava, made with quince and tangerine syrup. Lots of white flowers. So good: old, yet vigorous and lively. Palate: baked quince, red papaya, guava, red pear, roasted cherry, brown sugar, pecans, walnuts, salted caramel, rich toffee, fresh and candied white flowers, overripe peach, apricot and mango leather with white lokkum (Turkish delight). All of the tantalizing flavors of the Near East in liquid form. Finish that just won't quit.
