While fairly developed this showed a very complex and unique nose.
I don’t think it is for everyone but hit high with me.

Rich, unctuous, spicy and deep. Very young, orange marmalade, confit lemon peels and soooo sweet and thick. Not for everyone but certainly for me

Closing wine for a great Post HdR dinner with Bill Gibbs and friends at Heart Stone/G2 Vineyards. Darker than expected, but still a great dessert wine.

Wow! Stunningly unctuous, viscous, mouth-coatingly cotton candy-like, sensual experience. Hopefully you all get an opportunity to visit this exotic destination.
