Kobayashi Winter Tasting: Dark color. Insane nose, orange wine, oxidative. The palate is a complete about face, tense acidity and razor sharp focus. This is a wine to contemplate.

14.0% abv. Dark gold, almost orange color. Viscous in glass. Served cold and let it open up in glass. Ripe pineapple, mandarin orange, mango, slightly off dry. Quite zippy and tannic in mouth. Very long teeth coating finish (60+ sec): marmalade, caramelized peaches, exotic fruits, barn straw. This wine rides a fine line between varietal correctness and overripe but stays in check - intriguing and thought provoking.
