Rich and complex, but light on it's feet at the same time. Little (new) oak influence, but yeasty and full malo. Bottle didn't last long. Great stuff from a great vineyard from one of my favorite producers.

Perfect with thanksgiving day 2. Joseph Swan doesn't let us down. It's got a nice little buttery finish.
