dkfinancial wrote: 92 points
March 1, 2016 - Honeyed; lots of plum & pear; faint fennel on finish. Ripe style, but balanced by underlying acidity. 14.5% abv but not noticeable. Toasted oak has integrated well versus a couple years ago (was more toasty, and disjointed). There is some brown butter starting to show on the finish, so I think the drinking window extends through 2017. Solid 91-92 pts for me. Very enjoyable, particularly with pan fried white fish and scallops.
