Sunday, March 9, 2014 - Absolutely mind boggling wine - this is the type of wine that takes your breath away, the kind you get lost in, the kind words will never do justice. That being said, I'll do my best.
The wine is a pale gold in the glass. The nose, at first, displays plenty of earthy aromas. Notes of gunpowder, dried porcini, fiddleheads, wet wool and bees wax. As it open up fruitier qualities start to show. Baked apple and pear, and a tropical note far in the background.
The palate shows just how well a dash of sweetness can balance acidity. Fresh but with weight. Notes of dark sugar, white plum, tangerine, roasted hazel nut, candied lemon and dates.
