Golden colour. Butter, butterscotch, vanilla, pears, hints of pineapples. Fully mature and from now on it is going to be more and more dominated by its vanilla and butterscotch scents and flavors, which one really can like. Now it is in a lovely spot, because there is fruit that still withstand the power of caramel. -2025+ 5/13/17/9

My last bottle from a case I bought back in 2015. Somehow (and unfortunately) this bottle had too much cloying butterscotch candy on the palate, even with some air and at varying temperatures I tried (from high 40s to low 60s F). Still good acidity though.

Per prior notes. I'd add, nearly two years after last bottle, this seemed a bit more subdued, with less vanilla/butterscotch/brulee, resulting in a cleaner if slightly less rich nose & palate. This seems to be the same impression SLAZ described.
