Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, cinnamon and floral scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with mineral and citrus notes. Great now! — 8 hours ago

These just get so much better with this kind of age.

It had grand evolution & integration.

Elegant & ripe on entry. Dark cherries, plum, blackberry, baked strawberries, raspberry & hints of blueberries. Muddy clays, dry herbs, powdered dry earth times, light; caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanillin, withering dark, red flowers, some violets, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.
