N: Spicy vanilla with notes of butter & undertones of lemons? Intensity lurking?
P: Med, poss LM, body; NICE frt atop oak met by BRACING acidity which transitions into a LONG, balanced, tangy/swt finish which ULT shows a SLIGHT bitterness which encourages food &/or another sip. Still on the upswing, & would likely benefit by cellaring into Spring '19, then drinking through '22? My VG+, EXC- (or higher?)... soon. [I was unable to find another source with which to compare this vendor's $36.95.]
