Nose: Honey, something… incense? Later tart apples. (8/10)
Palate: Dry. Very dry. Barely qualifies as a liquid. (9/10)
Finish: Bit of a drop off here… it just doesn’t seem to want to reach deep on the back end. (8/10)
Balance: One of the great ones but it takes a LOT of time in the glass. Be patient with this liquid and it will reward you. (8/10)
