Tangy, mineral and plush. Hints of roses and melon. Great tension and balance.

Was not sure what this was going to taste like as I never had one with this much age on it. An uncanny combination on the nose and palate of citrus and tropical fruit .A profile that overloads the senses. Imagine an elephant as a graceful ballerina . The palate is best described as three dimensional. The wine’s structure makes me feel this wine is in suspended animation and will drink well for a very long time.

Both bottles oxidized. 1 bottle remains in the cellar. I will open before year end. Painful!
