Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva (750ml) Size:750ml 93 points Wine SpectatorNo wallflower, this one. The intensity of the bouquet starts right with the pour as waves of prunes and raisins rise from the glass; air contact stirs deeper aromas, most notably orange rind, peppermint and roasted nuts. This rich, heavyweight brandy features layers of flavor, including cocoa, toffee, caramel, cream Sherry and oaky vanilla. Finishes as large and robust as it started. Wine Enthusiast 90 95 points
