Pretty. Well integrated neutral barrels, spice, baked apple, citrus, and great acid. Well made.

Big and ripe, with loads of baked apple. Still vibrant, but adding some secondary flavors. A bit more focus would yield and even higher score, bit this is delicious...

A 2012. Seriously refreshing, mouth-watering. Lovely fruit dances with mineral and acid

I'm loving the complex aromas here. Lively acidity helps things too.
