The color of unclouded imperial topaz with medium-bodied legs. The scents are rich and luscious: caramel, cinnamon, honey, nutmeg and a myriad of oak spice. On the palate the flavors start rich, sweet and soft in a creamy full mouthfeel; they range from supple agave honey to copious newly turned soil with wood sugars and spice articulating throughout. The finish shows bracing minerals and hints of baked agave. It is spirited and warming. It divulges the powers of patience and the brilliance of tradition.
