October 28, 2023 - I am absolutely blown away by this wine. It has aged superbly so far, my only other tasting having been in 2012. Golden straw in color, the nose is spicy with a touch of petrol, not too dissimilar to a reisling, but with an enticing fruit overtone. The first taste is rich and balanced, there is obvious sweetness by design and due to vintage, but it is wonderfully braced by the acid and fruit. Peaches, apricots and guineps/lychee in the aftertaste, which lingers for a good while. I have four bottles left and am looking forward to continued evolution.
