One of the best and unusual wines you will find. If you don’t mind the maderized nose, this is one incredible wine. Silky and orange. Almost drank the whole bottle myself.

From the current release. So much structure here and it’s extremely oxidative. On the nose its creme brulee and aged brie but on the palate it brings white peach and orange oil with nice acidity to provide some lift.

On the nose, a little wet wool, dried; pineapple, apricots, honey notes, marmalade, orange/citrus notes. The nose and the palate are similar. The body is thick & round with a nice rich finish. Just released.

13.5% alc.
Another impressive (aged) wine from Kalin Cellars.
Holding up fantastically over the course of a 3-hour dinner.
