The nose is balanced and rounded with tones of apples, pears, custard, vanilla beans, mint leaves, and some jasmine. While there is good balance, this lacks a bit of complexity and depth that would add an extra layer or two. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with crisp, medium+ acidity that has some nice mouthwatering qualities. This is balanced and quite lovely. It may not be the most complex or amazing White Burg, but I am more than happy to have it in my glass.

The nose is savory and elegant with a slightly rustic edge to the tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, fresh herbs, black tea, leather, mint leaves, leather, earthy tones, violets, and roses.
