True to the house style, this is a crazy wine...ultra-extracted, viscous, aromas of honey and tropical fruit, massive acidity, and needed bitterness on the finish. Very little oxidation in evidence. Not really something to drink by itself but should be great with a cheese plate, Indian food, or dessert. I love it.

Ripe fruit with intense spice aromas. Same flavors with a touch of sweetness that is balanced with acidity and overall concentration. Improved with more time in glass. Better than a bottle from same case from a few years ago.

Served blind. The nose promises sweetness although there is not that much there. Complex nose full of oriental spice and dried fruits. Very impressive. Need to drink more of this stuff.

Wonderful Improptu/ Merged Wine Dinner (The Links Club - New York NY): Baked apple aromas with some honeycomb. Same flavors with candied lemon, but more mature than I hoped. Moderate weight and length. I expected more.

Wine with Modern Chinese Menu (NEXT Restaurant - Chicago IL): Intense aromatic start of ripe fruit and spice, but less complex on palate. Good spice throughout, good length.
