This is a lovely Moscato. Very floral aromas, but not overpowering or perfumy as Moscato can sometimes be. Nice star fruit, you can nearly smell the acid, and of course, that floral note. It's a pretty thick, heavy aroma. Nice full body on entry, thick and round, showing more of that yummy star fruit, slight acidity holding things in check... mainly the dominant, distinguishing sense on the palate is that really luscious body. As its held on the tongue the acid builds beautifully, and then blossoms fully into the finish and carries quite long. Smaller sips reveal more of the fruit roundness without that acid development, so for me, I enjoy keeping it on the tongue for quite some time. A nice wine, but pretty simple. I'm note a massive fan of Moscato, but this is a very fine one.

This has evolved in pleasing ways since my last note two years ago, but I agree with sleepyhaus that it's still a hold. There is far more fruit present throughout the current expression than present two years ago. Aromas show lovely moss (forest floor), a mashed cherry, and various herbs and spices. Really quite nice, if still tight. Palate entry has incredibly luscious body, creamy cab franc fruit is noted throughout, almost a bit of menthol note present... wow, this is really impressive on the palate at current. Great spice, great acid integration, and it is similarly coupled with this amazing smashed cherry. Of course the tannins are incredibly strong as you hold it in the mouth to get to sense all those great flavors. Finish attacks hard with bright red cherry fruit, but very quickly incredible acidity and tannins really dominates and takes over the palate. This wine has impressive stuffing, that's for sure, and it's already expressing more of that than it was two years ago. I'd say wait 5 years to start drinking in earnest, but I'll target the next bottle in 2 years just to check in. Hmmm... though since I have more than a case, perhaps sooner, as it does offer incredible pleasure today for $16. Just not yet near its apogee.
