A touch of smoke (likely from the toasted barrel). Mild pear and floral nuances.

Had the 2009. Distinct notes of peaches, vanilla and stone fruit with a touch of savoriness at the end of the medium+ finish. Disappointing acidity level though (medium-). Deep yellow-gold color and medium bodied with typical oiliness/viscosity in the mouth. Overall good.

16.5/20 (91/100)

Аромат неколько закрытый, сдержанный. Персик, пряности, белые цветы. Кислотность не высокая, тело полное, вкус пряный, с грушей, очень легкой горчинкой, минеральный.

I suspect this just went over the hill but it's still packed with flavor and a rich, layered texture. There is still enough acidity around the edges lending structural support.
