Rich honeyed notes that wrap themselves around the other flavors in the wine right now. This took longer to demonstrate the acidic tension and structural aspects than did my first bottle. Similarly, the flavors seemed more muted. This bottle showed similar flavors, albeit at differing volumes, but also revealed a tart strawberry-esq note on the very tail finish. Interesting, but too rich for me.

This shows a melange of honeydew, white flowers, crushed stones and orange blossom over the course of two days. Following its development was very interesting. The body is rich and supple, with good acids peeking out from underneath and helping to cut the richness and keeping this fresh. The finish is extended and shows the concentrated orange tones along with some warmer loamy notes.
Very Good - Drink now or Hold

Terrific. Layered, honey, floral. Great mouthfeel. Long finish.
