Sunday, December 25, 2016 - Combo of reviews:

Young w/ acidity. Bitingly fresh, but the appley tartness is balanced by pear & honeyed sweetness, w/ hints of white flowers & remarkable concentration & length.

Heady aromas of dried pear, honeyed apricot & candied orange peel, then delivers in a big way w/ full-bodied roundness & flavors of dried apricot, pear compote & vanilla custard. Complex & extremely elegant, it has great balance of sweetness and acidity.

Custardy oak dominates, lots of cream & ripe fruits; pear, peach & citrus. Palate w/ silky weight of honey is gorgeous, w/ toffee & cream, butterscotch richness & lots of that tea & tobacco character. Delightful acidity; burnt orange & a tough of grapefruit, & huge finish showing spice & delicious lushness, but poise.

Creamy, detailed nose. Sparky, concentrated, bright & fresh. Relatively light, very pure, w/ great finesse & a feeling of lightness & length.

Spicy aromas lead to candied citrus & clove flavors in this elegant dessert white. Moderately sweet, w/ bright acidity & fine length.
