Steve, not quite all that as you make it sound like Coche Corton Charlie but great effort. Like the secondary flavors from the extra fermentation which adds a texture and nuance and that uniqueness is what you should seek.

@Steve Matthiasson and co. made something beautiful here. Rich without being decadent. About as balanced a wine as you will find out there.
