Tasting Notes

Stunning tangerine and clementine notes. Flute-soaring sweetness. This has extraordinary vinosity and viscosity, pulsing with deeply golden, juice-drenched tropical fruit. Passion fruit and mango. Oolong tea. Maple syrup. Poached quince on rye toast. Honey cake sliced with a bronze blade of acidity. The finish has such purity it feels as if someone turned that bronze blade into a glass prism and played the spine-tingling silver strings of Paganini through the shafted old-gold light.
