Haskell Vineyards Tasting Session (Haskell Vineyards): (Tasted Blind): Mid to deep yellow-gold. Initial notes of cardboard and earth with some honey lend to its maturity. As it opens, it becomes a burnt vanilla pod and sweet spice to reveal a riper, more open profile. The wine feels at one side savoury and yet also not that clean, lacking some integration and slightly distracted by the burn of alcohol making the wine feel heavy/overweight rather than simply generous. Spicy oak, big going to bold with certain stone fruits helping give some mid-palate interest. Spiky on the finish. Not as bad as I sound!
