Tasting Notes:

Slightly floral and sweet nose with some spice. There are aromas of pear and tropical fruits.
Big, sweet and viscous up front. The palate dries out fast and leads to a big dry finish with huge peach flavor and a full warming body. Overall, this is medium bodied and has a beautiful finish of dried fruit. Great!
