Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.
Nose has pineapple core, lemon zest and papaya peel.
Palate has oxidized orange, dried orange peel, dried lemon peel, fresh apricot, blood orange and grapefruit peel.
Either past peak or still needs more time, last time we had this bottle the sweetness was over the top ~9 years ago; still sweet but mellowed some, more oxidative than past memory.

Not a hint of sugary despite the residual sugar. Elegant, long, amazing.

At the perfect stage of its evolution, beautiful and precise aromas of citrus and honeydew melon, powdery texture intermixed with some aged characteristics. Delicious now and great value!

Whoa. This has aged to a leaner more metallic wine that feels much leaner vs a year ago and paradoxically the pear is tasting fresher. So glad to have cases of this in stock.
