Tasting Notes,
Aromas of flambéed Honeycrisp apples, Demerara sugar, toasted pecans, and a subtle, oxidized note of sherry lead to a palate of vanilla custard, dulce de leche, and candied apple with a midline of confident acidity throughout. Savory herbs and dark caramel languish on a bittersweet finish.
