Nose: Plums and peaches. (9/10)
Palate: Delicious alcohol-soaked peach slices served on a wooden cutting board. (9/10)
Finish: One is first left with just a few acerbic notes but then, eventually, fruity echoes rise followed by a deep warmth. This takes serious time to develop though. (9/10)
Balance: I’m dinging it on the balance because the finish sure takes some time to sort itself out. But, hoo boy, is it awesome when it finally does! (7/10)
