Lifted orchard fruit and apple blossom with a mineral weight, great, richly textured sweet apple palate. Gorgeous!

A cheese rind, goats cheese nose that slowly morphs into white stone fruits. Clean, fresh and very lively in the mouth this has great green apple acidity baked up by a full bodied, Stoney mineral length

More obvious sweetness that the 08. Is is actual sugar or age?

This is phenomenal! The Netflix series Love, check it out. But this wine is really impressive. It has herbs (tarragon, fennel), some rich maple syrup infused honey, spritzy red apples even at this age and a steely minerality. There's some nice brett here like dirty wool but it's not heavy and makes the age of this more elegant. Still has high acid in old age. I want a case! $35!!!!

Nose is mineral, honey, sweet tarts. Palate is off dry with bracing acidity, lemon curd, fresh apple juice. Yuuuummmm.
