Medium-Deep gold in color with slow medium legs. Golden Delicious apple, pear, butter, oak, cream cheese, vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon on the nose. Golden Delicious apples, caramel, and vanilla with a rich creamy mouthfeel. Off dry and moderate acidity.. Apple and pear that flashes to a moderately lingering oaky vanilla and cinnamon finish.

Started out good , with pear and citrus notes on the nose , but then I drank it ... a bit acrid and lacking polish , with a rough aftertaste

Heavy Vanilla and oak from start to finish with butterscotch notes that linger. Heavy and full bodied. Serve cold to offset some of the heaviness. A bit too much for my taste.

A good blend of buttery smoothness and lemony crispness. Notes of vanilla and Oak.

Vanilla, slight sweetness, rich, with maybe a hint of apple.
