February 28, 2009 - This wine offers up soft aromas of orange blossom, musk melon, pickled ginger, steeped lemon peel and lots of intense exotic spices. Notably, after a few nights in the refrigerator, the nose becomes decidedly more mineral-driven and crisp—with graphite, river stones and cleaner citrus and melon aromas. In the mouth, the entry feels oddly thin, but the mid-palate manages a significant turn-around—with fine overall cohesion and density of fruit. Pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, rosewater, and dusty spice flavors and soft acidity are featured to fine effect there. But then the finish is not quite as lifted as one might hope. It is perhaps not a complete wine, but it does have pretty aromatics and a very fine mid-palate focus that makes it rather appealing.
