This wine is still very much kicking. Dominant elderflower on the nose with some mild petrol. You actually get more petrol on the palate that is quickly washed away by honied and baked fruit. Rich deep honey bee's wax, poached pears, canned peaches with the juice. Plenty of acidity and minerality to keep it from being cloying. An absolute joy. Very long finish.

The wine was clear with a deep golden honey color. No gas or sediment with a medium viscosity. Nose: Lemon curd, pineapple upside down cake, cherry starburst, and baked banana. Dark wildflower honey, carnation (low key florality) baking spices. Palate: mild fruit even after an hour or so of decanting. It was certainly oxidative with a lot of dried fruit and dried honey. Clean quartz-like minerality. Finished almost like a sherry or a dry madeira. Loooonnnnngg finish with some carnalized, honied, nutty notes you get with a good madeira.
