The initial nose emits expressive notes of light toffee, nougat and grain-like sweetness; after aeration the bouquet turns fruity, especially apples, pears, cherries and peaches. Palate entry is cocoa-like and smooth; at midpalate the flavor profile turns caramel- and toffee-like. The finish is long, sweet, satiny and nutty. A well-made and uncomplicated quaff. Best Buy.
