Pretty good, not as interesting as I though it would be though.

This wine is so very different...a sweet floral aroma, a dry, racy acid-driven mid-palate, and a long funky, cheesy finish. I found myself sucking down this wine without food and wishing for more.

Thought from recent older vintages maybe these did not hold up with time, but '14 was great. Must be vintage variation.
