Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): Lightly floral aromas coupled with vaseline and model airplane glue smeared on rubber. It's actually quite nice, despite how that may sound. The palate is very thick, soft and creamy, with nice pleasing sweetness that balances some pretty awesome acidity and mild minerality coming on as it stays on the tongue. Feels nice as it sticks around, with more and more minerality kicking up. Fantastic finish of huge cutting minerals and acid. Yes it's sweet, but these great minerals and acid cut right through that and it's the dominate note on the finish. Impressive stuff. The pour was small, so I could see this score varying up with a larger taste. Glad I have a bottle for future exploration in greater detail. 93+

Still young. I will hold another year before I drink another bottle.
