Saturday, June 18, 2022 - Honey, orange, pineapple and spice notes on the nose. Between medium and full bodied with massive orange notes upfront and adding golden peach and a beautiful mélange of tropical notes (guava, passion fruit and pineapple) through the middle. There's excellent density through the mid-body, but the wine is able to carry both that weight as well as the fruit notes due to the very good acidity as well as the tart citrus notes on the backside. These contrasting notes and structural qualities balance the fruit quite well and show both to their best advantage. This wine is already showing so well, it will be hard to resist, but I'll try and wait on my next bottle until at least June/July 2023.
