Rich, full bodied, generous and still elegant. Texturally think more Rhone than Burgundy. 20 mins to open up and come to temp this delivers from start to finish, with lovely bouquet on the nose and rich flavours of custard, honey and just enough acidity to hold it all in balance.
Was a bit worried this was near its end of life, yet it’s showing so well. A wine that would hold up to most dishes, and can fully stand on its own. Just be warned the stated 14.3% ABV is lurking behind the scenes.

Pop and pour. In the glass, clear pale gold. On the nose, thyme, lemon peel, and a touch of oak. On the palate, more lemon and a bit of smoke, married to a supple, lush texture that nonetheless delivers bursts of acidity to the palate, all the way through a moderately long finish.

A very weighted wine on the palate. Day 2 notes: Significant yellow fruit and stone ground palate. Yellow peach, roasted cashew, mature pear and honeysuckle lemongrass. A very dense wine from start to finish. Mouth coating, glycerine density. Makes me wonder why I don't have at least a case or 3 of this wine. I am a DuMOL fan and I can see these wines becoming my new normal. Finishes with white pepper spice. Beautiful wine.
