Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Coffee brown; clean. Nose is bursting with apple cider, apple peel, and strudel fragrances that are stunningly enticing, firm, and integrated. Baked apple flavors take the virtues found in the aroma and turn them into a gustatory treat of the first magnitude. Infinitely long finish that's mildly piquant, totally dry, and resiny. A classic.
