Sunday, March 8, 2015 - Deep yellow color is clear with no visible sediment. medium viscosity and day/star bright.
Aromas of medium+ intensity show beautiful oxidation and barrel notes; Dried leaves, weathered oak, butterscotch, popcorn, starfruit, melon, golden raisins and white fig with hints of dried pineapple and papaya, light honeycomb, river stone, spice, moist golden leaf tobacco and chalk scents are gorgeous and complex.
The palate is complex and unrelenting in balanced flavors. Chalky minerality laces the palate followed by brioche, cinnamon, popcorn, butterscotch, golden raisins, white fig, caramelized pineapple, honeyed butter, almonds, stone fruits vanilla and white tea/ jasmine flavors. Acidity keeps it balanced and alive.
Drink Now… No reason whatsoever to wait!
