Review

Deep yellow-gold. Fully evolved nose offers scents of honey, marzipan and sweet nuts (this was the third bottle Ramey opened and the least evolved of the three). Fat, sweet truffle and toffee flavors are complemented by botrytis suggestions of orange and honey. A bit aggressive on the end and past its peak.
