Lecompte 12 Year Old Pays d'Auge Calvados (700ml)

Other reviews... Finished in port wine barrels, this Calvados has a relatively dry, bold character. Rich aromas include baked apple and caramel, with a hint of sherry. Meanwhile, the palate starts with tea, cedar and oak, rounding out to caramel and toffee on an exceedingly long finish spiked with stewed apple, orange peel and nutmeg. The overall effect is lots of flavor, but not much sweetness, making for a food-friendly sip. 91 points - wineenthusiast.com

Notes from the producers...  "While the fruit is still dominant, the blend of Lecompte 12 renders it more complex and more intense than its younger sibling, with a remarkable aromatic maturity. Elegant cinnamon and nutmeg aromas rub shoulders with complex hints of caramelised apples and roasted hazelnuts, punctuated by a final flourish of liquorice. The result is a Calvados of extraordinary finesse and outstanding length of flavour."
