    Sticky-resin aromas are derived directly from the barrel. This is cloying in feel, with heavy oak flavors and oily tropical-fruit notes.

  • 201088 pts

    Apple and melony aromas rule the easygoing, tropical bouquet. Feels fresh and properly acidic, with pithy, citrusy flavors that vascillate between lime and nectarine. Feels good, bright and under control, with sweetness and citrus pith on the finish. 2,000 cases made.

    Generic and monotone on the nose. The palate is nothing more than wet and chunky, while the flavors are soft, sweet and candied, with vanilla and toffee overriding any fruit. A creamy dullard with a lot of vanilla and hardly any pulse.
