Powerful floral and lychee notes on the nose with touches of grilled pineapple, banana taffy and hazelnuts. Tropical fruit flavors grip the mid palate with plenty of intensity. The skin contact again brings a nice phenolic element that frames the exuberant fruit very well. Low brix/high acid provides a great treble frequency to balance the generous mid-range and booming bottom-end tones.

Pours like deep yellow extra virgin olive oil, smells like teriyaki glazed grilled pineapple and lemon sesame pound cake, butterscotch crystals, and coconut shavings.
Thick vein of acid keeps this freshy fresh (not at all sloppy).
Great QPR, and something different.

At Angel Oak....had to rip into some local stuff and this called out. First glass was bright, and without "weight", leaning in the direction of Burg in a delicate way. Last glass at warmer temp was tot dif....found its weight, texture, gentle oiliness, depth.
