Pleasantly surprised, courtesy of Pernod Ricard Wines VP of Finance Marcus Black. Paired with my lady's shrimp risotto with side of kale. Not as big as expected - showcases the not-too-ripe pear flavor profile. Not in your face, a touch bashful. Pear skin, apple, oak finish rounds it out. If I would have a season to drink it, it would be late winter into early spring. Drink now. Vintage 2013 tasted Jan 2015.
