Heavy gold in color; a butterball of the first order. The nose is full of oak along with pear and apple. That’s backed by a palate of sweet corn, mango, banana and apple. Toasty on the finish, with a splinter of pithy bitterness. Good Casablanca acidity ensures pop on the tongue. Imported by Laird & Company. ——M.S.(12/15/2005)—— 86
