Deep gold in the glass. Big bosomy nose of ripe red apples and old honey. Echoed on the palate with dried flowers and white pepper. Then layers upon layers of ancillary flavors from hay to pomes to nuts. In a real sweet spot now.

The wine for bourbon drinkers! (It's because of the honey & nuts.) Deep golden color, slight oxidation, lots of fun!

Such a rich and weird wine. Day one double decant seems to be the way. Day two brought out sherry qualities.
