2008 is the bomb ass vintage. This is singing on day 2 with intense citrus aromas (tangelo and lime) and white cherry fruit on the palate. Dense and electric and just packed. So long, sappy and just utterly delicious, long and complex. A true stunner.

Stone fruit and white peach on the attack. The acid works as the cleanup crew. Almost too much thunder, then it let's you off. Full pleasure with happy climax.
