Gold in colour with a medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positives: Medium toasted oak with bananas flambé, guava, tangerine, lemon candy & pineapple. Full body with medium acid, medium+ length & the alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: Too much bananas flambé.
Interesting Point: This series is consistent year to year. I was able to get it on sale at the LCBO for $14.05.
Drink on its own now or pair it with BBQ herb & garlic scampi.
