Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Lovely wheat field gold; impeccable purity. The high-flying aroma is chockfull of toasted grain notes, including wheat bread, snack cracker, and granola/muesli. In the mouth, all the concentration of the bouquet comes alive in tsunamis of flavor, including scone, buttermilk biscuit, almond paste, and bear claw pastry. Long, slightly smoky finish completes the experience in style.
