Clear, brilliant, evenly concentrated but low density, pale yellow with a slightly denser core and slim silver rim. Dry, medium plus, mouthwatering acid. Expressive, complex nose with pronounced marmalade, fresh pineapple, hazelnut, with subtle crème fraiche, and crème brulee. Aromas,slight phenolic bitterness, medium plus astringency, and vanilla finish suggests partial new oak maturation. Full body, rich texture, medium viscosity and medium plus heat (13.5%)Concentrated flavors are consistent with the nose. Long evolving finish. Excellent
