Blend of mainly riesling and pinot gris with a small % of muscat. Yellow, gold colour with apricots on the nose. Not sure how much residual sugar was in this but it was certainly rich and unctious and it was only the great acidity that kept this wine in balance. Would be perfect with foie-gras. This is a wine to drink young and am not sure how the acidity would hold up with extended cellaring

Olive tapenade, balsamic and crushed black pepper on the nose; old world mustiness with ripe red fruit on the palate. Opened up wonderfully over dinner but probably wouldn't purchase it again with a markup, only at retail.

Monday night blinds (Home (Noe st)): (non-blind, my wine)
V:
- medium plus gold

N:
- oxidative - yellow baked and dried apple
- sweet oak - mild toasted coconut, faint notes of dried vanilla. This has clearly spent some time in probably used barrels.
- sweet savory notes from development - sort of a caramelized carrot, toasted honey thing. Bee pollen?
- earthy notes - slight whiff of funkiness or brett

P:
- Has a delicious carroty tertiary development(bee pollen?) that I usually only get in musar.
- Clear evidence of oak - toasted hazelnut and dried lemon buttercream. But used oak.
- Dry
- medium body
- medium plus alcohol - 13.5% (says 12.5%)
- medium plus acid - strong and sparkly (more tartaric than malic).
- clean finish - no bitterness
- persistent

Laterals:
- aged white burgundy
- older chablis
- savennieres

Superb integration. It's like a Musar, but the oak is more important, and it's painted in bold pastel, and sprinkled with some caramelized sugar.
