  The nose immediately shows phenomenal depth. Full peach scents are touched with a smoky note, as if the peaches were quickly placed on a grill and removed again. Scents of apples, sage, and nutmeg dance around behind the peaches giving fantastic complexity to this wine before it's even tasted. It starts out easily and grows quickly to deliver golden fruit with full honey flavors. Tart acidity grows with voluptuous peach flavors that grow more powerful. The acidity settles off to the sides of the palate, while the rich fruit lingers and continues to evolve. Butterscotch flavors on the back end are intertwined with smoky notes and persistent acidity. The complexity is just glorious here. Every sip is different, and the flavors last effortlessly for minutes. It's so complex that I'm honestly struggling to take it all in, let alone put it into words. What an experience!
