Monday, December 5, 2022 - Purchased in a lot of wine of unknown provenance.

Upon opening, I was immediately impressed by the aromas that wafted from the bottle. The wine presented as a orangish-yellow or an almost amber complexion. The immediate impression was of great pure orchard and stone fruit. Once the wine had settled in the glass it showed a beautiful bouquet of fruits, caramel apple, buttered popcorn, and Crème Brûlée. The palate showed remarkable freshness and clarity of fruit. A splendid, balanced wine.
