TASTING NOTE: The aroma entices with bold caramel and vanilla. The palate is brisk and relatively dry, despite the succulent aroma, showing vanilla and oak up front, and rounding into nutmeg, almond, vanilla and bitter orange on the finish. Versatile for cocktails, including its namesake Sazerac. Best Buy. Score - 93 (Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast, July 2016) |
