Top Notes For

Aromas were slight muted even after it was decanted with notes of blood orange, pear, smoked butter and an herbal hint. Air helps but nose stays a little compact. Palate is a touch soft on opening but gains focus with an hour of air. Pear and pear skin with mineral zest plus a hint of tangerine are the major flavors. Longish finish is smoky and frantic. Certainly not as exciting or vibrant as my last bottle. Not sure how to evaluate further development.

Very complex nose with pear, candied orange peel and nectarine accented with a creamy, mineral notes. The palate is quite lush with creamy orange and sweet apple fruit. The residual sugar is buttressed by vivid acidity that makes this wine feel drier than it is. The wine develops with air and has great density. The wine's complexity should continue to intensify with further bottle age.
