Very rich, with pineapple fruit and smoky, toasty oak aromas opening to a full palate of apple-pear, butterscotch and hazelnut flavors. Has an attractive, creamy mouthfeel, with a long, fairly complex popcorn, lemon and butterscotch finish. A promising first effort that shows decent stuffing and some handsome shadings.——W.E.(9/1/2000)—— 89
