95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Cherry and vanilla dominate the nose, with allusions to Bosch pear, honeysuckle, and clove. A pronounced oaky character on the palate gives way to toasted coconut, white pepper, stewed cherries ,and peach. A long, smooth burn on the finish is very welcome.
