  Last bottle, but no hurry to drink up. Other vintages have seemed a little tired, not this one. color has not darkened. Aromas of peach, honeysuckle, apricot, slight floral and pear. Stone fruits, citrus, cedar flavors. Great balance and acidity. Smooth finish.

  Gold in color. 14.5% ABV. Sublime nose of tropical fruits, toast, vanilla creme brulee and butterscotch. Full bodied with ample acidity. Incredibly rich and lush with great balance. Pear, apple, nutmeg and honey on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Really good but my hunch is this would have been better a year or two ago. Enjoy this Summer.

  Has not lost a step with age. While other vintages are starting to act old, this is still fresh and young. Starts with peach, honeysuckle, apricot, pear aromas. Stone fruits, citrus, cedar flavors. Great balance and acidity. Smooth finish. Probably has hit its peak, but not showing thats its headed down yet. still would drink up in the next few years.
