Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Bright copper/bronze color is an eye-catcher. Hearty, expressive aroma is chockfull of toasted marshmallow, candied citrus peel, toffee, baked pear notes. Taste-wise, there's a wide array of flavors, from baked pineapple to crème brulée to pine, that challenge the palate while simultaneously delighting. Aftertaste is long, pruny, built for post-prandial consumption.
