Had to do some hard detective work to pair this bottle to the label in the cellar.

The wine is pure seduction. Heady floral and honey notes, a commandingly deep tartness. Lots of phenolic spice, dry extract, and an incisive depth. Of the full and powerful style rather than ethereal. This is drinking well now, feinherb like, but I think if the RS and acids had another ten years to mesh it would be something else.

Hell yes. Feinherb style. Perfect acid sugar balance. Beautiful white peach and apple blossom honey nose. Lime and lime zest and granite minerality on the palate. Seriously good.
