Dense, palate-coating, slightly waxy. Tremendous fruit concentration in 2017 with perhaps 3 or 4 grams sugar for added weight.

I really liked the 2014 version. This 2017 seems to be more of a late-harvest style, with too much dried ripe fruit.

Extraordinary richness and palate coverage, especially on the mid-palate, for the money.

A bit of wax, a white flower note, some yellow fruits notes too. Quite inviting. The palate shows a massive acid backbone which gives a strong drive. There is a little thickness on the sides which could come from a little residual sugar. There is indeed a sweet note. Very long finish with yellow fruits and a tangy note which makes it very easy going and calls for another glass. This is great!

Waxy, broad palate with apricots and dried stone fruits, dried blossoms, honey. High acid but oily structure makes it feel rich and round. Easy, but w plenty of complexity. Love it.
