TASTING NOTE: The mild, fresh aroma suggests white flowers and fresh-cut pear, while the palate reflects those gentle floral-fruit notes coupled with honey and vanilla, finishing with a delicate whiff of smoke. Gift this almost whiskey like Cognac to a Scotch-lover. Petite Champagne region, made 100% from Ugni Blanc grapes. Named to the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Spirits of 2017. Score - 95 (Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2017) |
