Nose: sherry sweetness; balsamic vinaigrette; honey; walnuts; peaches; allspice Palate: raisins; sweet vanilla; brown sugar; honey; faint herbs Finish: short-medium, oily finish; grapefruits; baking spice; green herbs Unsatisfactory. If I had spent over $50 on this, I would be displeased. The age is not apparent in the aroma or taste, and it has a surprisingly brief finish. The nose is unfocused, with both sweet and bitter elements. The palate is straightforward and could be improved. I prefer the DW 12, CC14, and DW17 over this. Definitely avoid.
