Showing some golden honeyed sweetness on the palate with acids still going strong. Spicy mineral nose with lemon rind and turmeric. I feel like both the tertiary notes on the nose and the honeyed notes on the palate are signs of age. Which is the whole reason I started collecting wines 8 years ago, to see if I could perceive with my own senses their aging. So, that’s fun. And, since I am not detecting signs of premature oxidation, I am going to set the aging window to drink my last bottle on my 80th birthday, in 2036.

Aromas of flint, peach, lemon zest, and beeswax, with a hint of smoke and a delicate framing of vanilla. A smooth spread of penetrating fruit on the palate, showing some honeyed richness with an energetic acid lift at the back, long echoing finish. Mellow with an inner sparkle. 50 + 18 + 17 + 9 = 94.

Complex nose of cumin, white flowers, lychees, lemon, with a hint of toast. Silky and full bodied on the palate with great dry fruit tension and acid gilding. Amazing tension and grace. 50 + 18 + 17 + 9 = 94.

Lemon, vanilla, subtle toast. Beautiful golden/yellow-ish color.
Linear flavor with creamy body. Lemon rind aromatics layered between the nose and the finish.
Lychee and white flowers on the nose, very little heat. A very gentle minerality. The finish is long and steady, tart and crisp.
