Wednesday, November 3, 2021 - First experience with this particular wine/producer-
Day 4 after simply re-corking/no gas.
What an unbelievably glorious color. A golden apricot caramel color in the glass, like a copper sunset.

Aromas of honeyed almonds and orange blossoms greet the nose effusively, while a little baked pear aroma lingers in the background.

Simply delicious. The aromatic components make a graceful appearances on the palate in one way or another. A delicate floral honey note, tangerine skin, blanched almonds, peaches in syrup and perhaps just a touch of pine resin.

It is rich and luxurious, while having enough complementary acid to carry a pleasantly persistent finish for minutes.

I have a few bottles from another vintage on order, but I am led to believe that this 2007 is an exceptional vintage and without a frame of reference for the producer, I can simply say this is an outstanding dessert wine. I hope the incoming bottles are somewhere in the ballpark.
