Medium yellow. Fresh aromas of apple, peach, slate. Medium sweet, tangy acidity, tangerine laced finish. Medium length. Mid maturity, I think this will get more interesting.

Absolutely opaque purple. Nose is plum, smoke, flowers. Palate is wow, so high in alcohol yet fresh fruit, bright, medium length. A conundrum, this was pretty amazing given the labelled 16% alcohol but I found it hard to drink. It's remarkable it was even drinkable at that much alcohol. Kind of compelling though.

Very mature nose of apple, hay, crushed shells. The palate is brightly acidic, no fruit on the mid-palate, waxy finish. Medium length. While not oxidized, this has seen better days (or is possibly in a weird, Chenin dumb phase). Drink up.
