Rated 94
This wine is lively with aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry and clove on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of cranapple-strawberry, cinnamon, orange zest and vanilla bean interlaced with tobacco leaf, spiced bittersweet chocolate and a dry finish. Decant and drink now, or enjoy through 2030. Pair with Peking duck.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
