Made in a richer marzipan-laced style, this bottling shows browned butter, butterscotch and baked apples on the nose. The palate is a tad oily with strong browned-butter and green-apple flavors, but also very balanced, with the unctuous custard elements cut by tart citrus peels.

The nose on this bottling is nicely rounded, with pan-seared apple, sea salt caramel and a touch of butter. A good sizzle of acidity rides through the sip, with flavors of seared Meyer lemon and tangerine, baked apple, a pinch of salt and a buttercream finish.
