This is doing very well. Still plenty of zingy acidity with exotic, wild, muscat grape and floral smells and flavors. Showing very ripe (but no RS) and big in the mouth and very, very long. I think this will reward drinking over the next year or so -- wouldn't want to lose the fruit and spectacular foral nose. Yum!

Showier and more oppulant than a few months ago, but still spicy and well supported by zingy acids. Opening up and spreading out a bit, though -- I may have liked it better tighter. We'll see.

Spectacular. Nose of green grape, allspice, spices, musk. Enters with steel in honey flavors, white flowers, stones, allspice, ginger supported by firm acidity and a long, lingering finish. Just astonishing in its complexity and intensity. Fine structure with plenty of time in front of it, but no need to wait.
