95 Points

Sunday, December 13, 2020 - Faint orange color. Concentrated nose, almost sappy, compact. Rolls into zested lemon, orange fruit, grilled almonds, torched sugar with hints of peppermint. Within minutes developing into a full and complete rendering of creme brulee.

Palate has some life with vanilla, honey, cream on the midpalate. The feeling of rich sweetness felt overpowering at times and deserves food to provide balance. I wish I could have also tasted this earlier in life, not out of disappointment for the experience I had, but to see the full arc of the wine's life.

Lemon, orange zest/bitters or anise on the long, gripping finish. Marmalade, tangerine. For all the citrus notes acid was pretty low.
