Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - a beautiful red-brown, autumnal look to it. Proportionate beige head. Nose - orange peel, orange liqueur, booze, wood spice and herbs. Taste - woody, boozy up front. Fudge, chocolate orange, hazelnuts and more booze to close it out. Palate - full bodied, creamy and boozy through middle and finish. Overall - a bit on the boozy side but very complex indeed.
