Toffee, fruit cake, butterscotch and a flicker of vanilla Yankee candle on the nose; quiet notes of roasted pear and petals of lemon rind picked off the grill in a rich bodied elixir that persists 20+ seconds.

I had higher hopes for this. I bet the super fat oak treatment will fall out with some age. Does have fantastic acid, but the malo and oak are hard to overcome at this stage.

Big wine. Rich, opulent, creamy, oaky. Yet enough lush and juicy fruit and well judged acidity to maintain a wonderful balance.
Very classy stuff.
