Finish: Sweet tobacco smoke lightly brushed with buckwheat honey give way to salty condensed milk before yielding to butterscotch candy and the generous multi-minute conclusion

Perfect for sipping neat or in a classic whiskey cocktail like an old-fashioned or a Manhattan

La Clarine Farm Albarino "Al Basc" 2016 Cake Hearty Russian Rye toast soldiersOrange wine alert! The 2016 al basc shows a cloudy burnt orange color. Big aromas of dried apricot and dried herbs. Also, oddly, aromas of very fresh grapes. Rich, umami, herbal and yet more apricot show on the palate. A long finish, with savory tannins, and a lovely saline note.
