A beautiful golden color. Nose - notes of guava fruit, unripe banana, baking soda and lemon followed by floral herbs and yellow grapefruit. Taste - OMG! rich and creamy with a slight oily feel on palate. Initial notes of apricot, lemon rhine and hints of grapefruit, followed by tastes of saline and wet rock and a white pepper tangerine adding to its long finish.

2 hour decant. A majestic medium gold color. On the nose: lemon, hint of vanilla smoke, some tropical fruit, banana peel, floral. Taste: rich,layered, creamy, oily wine with apricot, lemon rind, saline, grapefruit, flint, and a white pepper tangerine long finish. A seductive wine that I can sip all night. YUM!
