Pretty advanced color — medium gold. Honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is lemon crime brûlée, with vanilla notes and burned sugar. Lacking some focus and acidity, this doesn’t have the class I’ve come to expect. It took a few years for this to begin drinking — is it now already past peak?!

Ripe and fresh. Just moving into the post primary stage. Ripe orchard fruit and candied/crystalline ginger.
