A lot of lemon fruit on the palate with only a touch of the exotic fruits. It has clearly aged but for me, in a nice and interesting way. There is more butterscotch and brown butter but the acidity keeps the flavors in check. It has a minor touch of VA but it fits nicely with the lemon-driven flavors. It has a lot of personality and for me, it was a special and great wine!

PnP. Medium dark gold. Tropical nose. Nice roundness to the palate but the oak still is too dominant in the finish. Past its peak. Less oak aging would have helped this as the fruit is quite lovely.

PnP, Medium deep gold - looks a bit advanced. A bit stinky on the nose but good depth on the palate nice texture with some butterscotch and tropical fruits though low in acidity on the finish. On its downhill slide; drink up.

Not showing its age. Loaded with tropical fruit, apple and pear aromas and flavors . Rich in depth and intensity. Still a little heavy on the oak. LOng finish with good acidity.
