A surprising letdown. Not faulty, but may be a poorly stored bottle or bottle variance. Amber toward gold in color, clear. Quite closed on the nose. Cellared apples dominates. The mouthfeel is where it still wins. Full-bodied with an impressive nerve. The fruit concentration is impressive, mature with baked and yellow apples, baked lemon, some dried apricot. Looking forward to trying a more optimal bottle.

Complex clay, stone and flowers; complex earthy apricot and tangerine; long finish.

Austere with apricot-lemon; balanced; nice moderate acidity; complex and minerally; nice finish.
