Monday, January 9, 2023 - Retail $50 (375ml). Whoa. Dark amber in the glass, really dark. Aromas of caramelized pear, hazelnut, honey, walnut, and a bit of beeswax in the glass. Holy cow. The palate is sweet, tart, honeyed, nutty, and off the charts. Whoa. Yes, it is sweet, almost to the point of cloying, with vibrant (still[!]) acidity and a host of secondary/tertiary flavors. Yowza. I do not drink a ton of dessert wines these days, but when some friends showed up? It was time to pop some good stuff. And this definitely classifies as "good stuff." Whoa.
