What a fun wine! Really good with crab or as a nights starter

Study material, very delicate and balanced example aromatics are very complex the structure and the body are certainly a surprise be quick as it appears to be better enjoyed fast.

This is in a fantastic spot. Showing lanolin inflected orange peel and pear fruit with just a hint of earth. Quite viscous on the palate with homies mandarine orange and golden apple fruit. Fat and layered on the finish.

Needed 3 hours of air to show off superb apricot, pear, orange peel fruit with beeswax, hay and mushroom accents. Rich and unctuous on the palate with mandarin orange, golden apple and pear fruit flavors. Earth and mineral tones add depth to the palate. The finish is deep and rich.

Earthy notes with lanolin, wet stones, mushroom over orange peel and quince fruit. A touch muted on palate but has good nutty. Beeswax edged tangerine and pear fruit.

Nose shows a waxy, earthy edge with pear, golden apple and candied ginger aromas. Candied ginger, orange peel and pear fruit are rich with just a slight oxidative edge. Not likely to gain complexity so appears time to drink up.

Slight oxidation but tasty. Like eating salty kettle corn. After opening up some subtle burnt orange. Very one dimensional though
