Quiet, with a lot to say.

Perfect partner to pie of pheasant, duck, chicken. #AlineaToGo

A nose with bit banana, caramel, vanilla. Impressive, excellent ! À little acid

More time. Should be great w integration

Ripe fruit, brett, and stewed fruit on the nose, putrid on the palate as if a decent sized mammal died and decomposed in the barrel.
