Josh Raynolds:
Light gold. Strong floral and spice notes complement ripe orange, pear and honeyed apple aromas, with a deep undercurrent of brown butter. Round, supple and nutty, showing an array of buttery orchard and pit fruit flavors and excellent depth and underlying power. Impressively long finish features an intriguing violet pastille note. There`s lots going on here. 92 points
