What a lovely way to begin the holiday festivities. Popped and poured into burgundy glasses and enjoyed over three hours. Persistent mousse. Gorgeous aromas of white peach, Meyer lemon, golden raspberries, almonds and after some significant air, some butterscotch started to show. The texture of 2012 is on full display with an almost sappy quality. Chalky minerals. Fabulous acid. The finish was long and lip smacking good. I think this is drinking very well now but has years to go. Disgorged 12/2018
