Gold color, showing the 5 years of age on this. The nose shows wood, barrel age, exotic spices, a hint of fresh cut marshmallow, and a mineral driven funk. The palate is fairly lean, carrying through the funky, woody flavors up front with the slightest bit of effervescence, quickly transposing with a burst of acidity to an almost Sauternes-like off-dry sweetness. The finish is packed with a savory umami flavor you normally don't see. Great out of the ordinary find. I suddenly want to seek out more of this varietal!
