Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of apricot preserves, pickled raspberry and tart red cherry, plum sauce, and crispy duck skin in orange sauce with a round, tangy, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, very complex, very long finish with notes of maitake mushroom in an apricot bramble berry reduction, sesame and plum sauce crispy salmon crack, mincemeat pie and pralines, and artisan cola. Savory, almost meaty and then layered with red berries, citrus, and flaky pastries with tropical fruit confections; this one goes deep into the vault and delivers a king’s fortune of flavor and gratification.
