Aromatics:

Aromas of banana custard, fennel bulbs, chamomile flowers, and buttered toast lift from the glass. Oak aging has provided rich crème brûlée, brown spice, and toasty notes.

Palate:

The palate opens with rich textured notes of stone fruit, golden apple pie-a-la mode, papaya, and sweetened cream. Elegant and balanced with marcona almonds, lavash bread, and a hint of salinity with a long bright finish.
