Tasting Notes:
An extraordinary dessert wine made of Muscat de Frontignan and superior Napa Valley pot-still brandy. Golden/amber in color from its long aging in French oak, the wine is a complex combination of nuts and orange-peel aromas. Thick and rich in the mouth, the nuts and orange-peel theme continues from the entry through the long finish, highlighted by the many subtleties from the fine brandy and time in the barrel.
