Sunday, June 1, 2014 - Tasted blind, this wine had a light gold center and clear rims. The high- nose of apple cider, ginger, lemons, and honey was nice but a bit funky.
In the mouth, this wine was quite viscous and rich with lovely fine-grained acidity. The length was fantastic. It got better and better in the glass and in the end was quite majestic. I would have to say the mouth-feel of this wine is amazing and special.
However, the slightly oxidative note suggested by my apple cider description was a bit distracting. Thus, this very expensive bottle merited an impressive but not a superlative score.
Given the above, I see no reason to save this wine for later.
