9.1

Nose of; ripe syrupy apricots, mango, guava, Meyer lemon, hits of lime, mix of green and golden apples, paraffin, touch of oak toast, flint, vanillin, warm caramel, white and yellow florals.

Big, thick, rich, waxy palate. Ripe syrupy apricots, mango, guava, Meyer lemon, hits of lime, mix of green and golden apples, over ripe pineapple, topical melon, paraffin, touch of oak toast, flint, sea fossils, saline, vanillin, cream, warm caramel, burnt toast, crumbled chalk, grippe, limestone with a bite, white and yellow florals. Big rich finish that’s lasts minutes with big earthy end that needs time to evolve and soften.

Third bottle opened in the last month. And the only one that wasn’t poxed.

Post work tasties.
Great crushed seashell and lime cirtus on nose. Unctious and rich on the pallat, finishes nice and mellow with again a citus splash. Yum

What an elegant evening! Delightful wine to compliment an excellent meal. Smokey nose, not too fruity. Jennifer would order this again in a heartbeat. Jennifer said the nose is heavier than she's used to.

Golden color, honey, grain, oatmeal, melon, peaches. I like decanting t because it evolves nicely over a couple of hours.

Very fresh and elegant. High mineralogy with white peach and a hint of banana (!!) to finish the palette. A solid wine to start a meal.
