I've never been a fan of Blackstone but I was intrigued by this Limited Release of 125 cases. Golden straw appearance. The nose is pleasant but not as aromatic as I expected. Big bodied, sweet, and somewhat viscous - reminds me of a Semillon, showing citrus, melon, and stonefruit notes, with whiffs of creme brulee, lychees, florals, and followed by a minerally finish. Could use more acidity.
