  Give the pour ten minutes to wake up. NOSE: latex and envelope adhesive shed quickly—or do they morph?—in favor of muscat brulée, nuts, and partridge pan crust. MOUTH: quite sweet of mature fruit. Seasoned, spiced Demerara splinters arrive in the middle for tannic support. Apricot marmalade coffee crust. Lemon leaf; quince; flambéed pear filet. Glossy as it pumps acid throughout the latter stages. Impacted pound cake crust. Bitter mineral.
  This wine made a convincing rescue of some suss "cheesemonger surprise" Spanish pecorino that was lingering here on the studio board (walnuts played a role, too.)
  UPDATE 8/27/2023. Only 33 days later, left resealed in the fridge, the acid has now assumed benign dominance. Trailed with sticky strands of pomegranate and orange blossom, the acid grips the crown and steps on the throttle. I'll have to revisit this, but I'm considering raising the score.

  Acid, I think would go good with a fatty dessert
