Sunday, January 27, 2019 - Seriously not bad for the price!

Expressive gingerbread, asian pear, lemon curd, and graham cracker on the nose with a faint whiff of buttercream and wool fleshing it out. Palate follows with a touch of malolactic smoothness, saline minerality, and a rush of juicy meyer lemon and dried strawberry buouyed by medium acidity. Similar to a lot of entry-level Cru Burgundy. Not much up-front oak here, but serious textural nuance from the 16 months in Austrian puncheons.
