Epic wine. Great showing of white sesame seeds, tropical fruits and toasted wood. Good acidity. Need decanting for at least 1 hour. Still very young.

So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back, due to scheduling my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.

Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.

Decanted 8H.

24-Hour Update:
Nose has cooled fresh popcorn (no butter), warm yellow apple, grilled pineapple, essence of pears, white flowers, fresh butter at room temperature and sliced (ripe) Anjou pear.
Palate has warm lemon meringue, ripe pear, dried lemon zest, dehydrated apple slice, dried lemon, fine limestone notes, still showing great density to the palate.
Youthful as the day is long! Revisit ~2030.

Tremendous precision, balance and structure, lemon pie, crisp apples, minerals, hints of smoke. The finish is long and concentrated.

Creamy aromas of tropical fruits. Pears, citrus and baking spices in the palate. Lingering flavor of a box of Cinnabon. Decadent.

Very good CC. Oak is out front, but extremely classy. I'm 93.384 points on this.
