Gold color. Aromas and flavors of cherry cough drops, freshly sawn lumber, pickled mango, and orange zest and praline with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish conveying notes of cherry and alpine herbs, dried pecan, baking spices, and bitter orange in green tea. Tropical fruits with some earthy and woody spices make this very tasty indeed.
