Thursday, December 28, 2017 - The wine pours a rich golden color with long legs, suggesting high ripeness of the fruit and high alcohol content. At relative youth, the wine looks surprisingly advanced just from its appearance. On the nose, the juice yields plenty of honey, grilled nuts, marzipan, lemon meringue and just a touch of freshness and citric acidity. The palate is quite generous and the wine is very broad in stature. That said, the alcoholic heat is very apparent. The wine also lacks balance in terms of acidity and minerality. Flavors of roasted peaches, candied lemon peel, honey and smoke dominate the core. Finish is a bit short but the precise cut is there. Not much cloying fat in the wine. Quite decent for the price I paid.
