A few wines from last week’s 4th Friday event!

My surprise of the day, in terms of how it has evolved. Would have never guessed this could have reached 11yrs old without showing rich notes of oak or juicy fruit. Powdered lemon bar, honeysuckle, honey roasted cashews up front, but beautifully finessed on the palate with added notes of mineral, stone fruits, soft pastry and nutmeg. Acidity is almost energetic here. Very pretty. Thanks
