"92 Vinous
"Bright gold. Powerful spicy pear and white peach scents are deepened by blond tobacco and fresh fig, with piquant minerality adding sharpness. Silky in texture, with deep but energetic pear and quince flavors. Picks up anise and white pepper on the finish. Clocks in at a heady 16% alcohol but there's nothing obviously warm about it."
