Big, rich and full. Profound caramel flavors. Great nose. 2inch projection. Long finish. Lovely. Delicious. Drink up however. It is not getting better.

Floral, Flint and Pastry Dough aromatics with rich and powerful citrus and pineapple layered with minerality. Very nice. Not over the hill.

This was aromatically full of those metallic, flinty, chalky notes I love, but also spice and lemon-tinged baked apples, making for a complex and hedonistic nose that is a complete experience by itself. On the palate it had all the complexity and intensity and length I'd expect, but a little toasty oak stood out and the acid was waning--is this beginning to unravel after hitting its peak a few years back? I'd say this is so delicious now, it's time to drink it before we find out.
