Tasting Notes: The nose is rich and decadent – think vanilla cake, butterscotch, cane sugar syrup, caramel icing, with a hint of smoke like youve just blown out the candles on a birthday cake. Still, theres a touch of perfumed oak and dark fruit that adds depth and keeps you coming back.

The palate is viscous and chewy, hitting bold on your first pour but softening well with air. Despite all the confectionary sweetness that carries over from the nose, it finds balance in funky, sparkling grape and apple butter notes.

The finish is plush and coating, gliding along with silky richness like warm beignets dipped in raspberry sauce and drizzled with caramel.
