Tuesday, November 28, 2023 - tasty but flawed bottle.

very oxidized. dark (hazelnut brown) and oily textured. but (most impressively and most interestingly) STILL delicious

this was bought on release and stored temp control. this was my last bottle so it's possible this was off from the go. almost sherried with tons of roasted buts alongside the normal oxidized/dessert white wine flavors. a very interesting study if you ignore the flawed aspect because there's so much there but prematurely and by accident.

in general, this just validates my softening on cellaring (sweet) wines that are balanced and delicious on release: balance is a dangerous thing to tamper with. time... even more so. development is dicey. bird in hand!!!

on the other hand, I can't say this isn't a delicious flawed wine. if I didn't know the wine, I'd almost be impressed
