The generous aroma emits powerful scents of honey, oloroso Sherry and dark toffee; aeration stimulates additional scents of nougat, roasted peanuts, sautéed butter and very sharp cheddar. The palate entry finds flavors of sugar beet, candy bar, maple and oak; at midpalate the taste expands to include marzipan and brandied cherries. Finishes beautifully, if a bit tight and suddenly reined-in.
