Peach, pear, tropical fruit, mango, bright fruit, nice floral, slight honey, well integrated sugar, lingering finish. Good acidity. Really enjoyable.1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 28, 2017 - Great. A bit sweeter than I remember but good amount of acid and it killed the Prager bottle we had earlier.

March 12, 2017 - Golden colour. First pineapple, peach, after 6h in the one-third emptied chilled bottle adding slate, honey and a chord of other yellow fruits. Very yummy and easy going, quite sweet, yet with enough acid to provide elegance and poise. Fully mature and without further positive evolution to be expected. -2022

February 16, 2015 - Cork broke at the restaurant but wine was intact. The color is that of Inca Kola. Sweeter than I would prefer but acid is also high which keeps it fresh and in balance. It was very pleasing with the spicy ceviche. Mouth coating richness with a ton of fruit still. Finish is lively and of mid-length. This should age well. I'll keep my last bottle for another few years to see how it further develops.
