Annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine.
(Notes this year were avoided, but scores are honest.)

Delicious! Fresh, textural, floral and waxy fruits balanced by nuts and spice. Love this wine

Waxy texture, ripe brown pear, citric acidity. Hitting a whole lot of pleasure points.

'This wine is weird' it has that 'eastern European' aromatic. Plum pit, stony, anti-Barbie. Quotes from Randall. For me green plum, fruit tree blossoms, old school cosmetics/face powder, dusky rose. Again a fleshy/crisp texture. I think this will reward time in the cellar.

Aromas of beeswax, quince and cardamom. The palate is flooded with Asian pear, fennel seed and wildflower honey. A long, silky yet savory finish ends with a note of wet slate.

A little stinky on the nose. Rich and mineraly on the palate. Would pair well with clams.

Fun and crisp on a hot night. Honeysuckle, cantaloupe, lime, marzipan finish. Delicious!
