Kind of a mushroomy orange tinted nose. Voluptuous and a hint of sweetness with old caramel notes. It's really interesting and evolving nicely. It's really enjoyable. A solid beverage.

Nutty oxidation but not overwhelmingly so, with good acidity, probably past peak but not too far over.

Hazelnut, rich with just a hint of banana, lots of acidity. Very nice.

Oxidized (on purpose?), but full bodied and "winey". Not your every day bubbly. Pricey.
