We pulled this one out to celebrate our trip to Willamette valley 8 years ago. It’s been aging gracefully. Still has a good concentration of colour at the centre and lightening toward the edges with a spectacular gold hue. Nose is carmelized pineapples, milk bread baking spices, candied quince and a whiff of summer ripeness due to its age (it’s definitely past its prime but still elegant as hell). The palate has flavours of green pear, kumquat and crème caramel with the warmth of ripe summer fruit and pops of lively brightness.
