An impressive deep golden yellow, the nose is oak, butter, subtle pears, and a hard-to-place earthiness -maybe mushroom? On the palate, this wine is absolutely thick and oily, and the acidity lacks slightly. The finish is long and sticky, with remnants of butter, pears, a bit of almond, and a hint of this slightly off metallic flavor. Overall, a bit flat. I suspect this wine is a year or two over the hill.

Pear and mellon scent, layered mellon flavor with nice oak overtones.
