its elegance.

Susan Reigler – 8.8
Nose: Rye grass, freshly harvested grain. This is followed by plenty of caramel, a distinct floral aroma.
Palate: Caramel and marzipan, cinnamon spiced apples. The rye spice follows and counters the sweetness of the other flavors, as do some oak tannins.
Finish: Long and sweet. Dries with a distinct, herbal rye finale.
Comments: Add a little water or an ice cube because the water turns the caramel to milk chocolate.
