Disgorged 4/2014.
I give this a 91+ as I think it will gain over the next couple of years.

Wow! A wildman. The nose is like a "pastry shop". Palate is rich and dense but on point. More please!

A fairly developed color and nice, creamy and smooth on the palate.
Not my favorite style (as I prefer bone-dry) but nonetheless quite enjoyable.

Beautifully balanced, great minerality, has a richness, but I think the acidity handles it.
