March 10, 2019 - Prior bottle was a bit over 18 months ago and this wine continues to evolve positively. Peach, orchard fruits, passion fruit and a honey quality on the nose. Medium bodied and actually needed almost two hours open to fully reveal itself. When initially opened, there were honey notes on the nose and upfront that concealed some of the more nuanced fruit notes, but by two hours in, had come into very good balance. Showed orchard fruit upfront (soft apple and brighter pear), moving to distinctly tropical notes through the middle (passion fruit, peach) and then brings in some nicely contrasting notes towards the back (lightly tart citrus) and some acidity. At first, it felt like this wine was a bit softer the more fruit driven than it should've been. But with the additional time open, the fruit and structural qualities came into a bit more balance. I would drink these over the next 2-3 years as it will endure beyond even that point, it won't retain the current level of complexity or balance.
