Overripe stony fruits on the nose. Lots of ripe Asian pear. Sweet and savory tones, as if a late harvest semillon. Honey, syrupy like wine. It's very rich. Trouble is, there's no minerality or acidity left to balance out the wine. It's flabby.

Rich straw hue. Nose of ripe Bartlett pear and spice. Considerably more muted on the palate with a weak acidic finish. Alsatian in terms of texture and weight, but squarely Italian for complexity.
