Aromas of old worn leather, popcorn and breakfast cereal with more subtle notes of creamed corn, dark caramel, molasses and fudge evolving after aeration time. Entry is buttery, with flavors of sweet corn and maple; the lovely midpalate features tastes of cooking oil, lanolin, caramel, dark fudge, cocoa and brown sugar. Ends with a flourish of oaky vanilla. P.P.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
