Powerful nose of ripe fruit, citrus, and stone fruit. There’s great acidity to balance out the richness and power with flavors of apricot and tart fruit. There’s a touch of sweetness that’s probably more sweet fruit rather RS. Long finish. A huge wine and probably not for everyone, but the balance and flavors are fascinating.

Brief notes of Christmas wines with John: Brief note. Served non-blind. Attractive bouquet of mandarin, pineapple and spices. Fleshy, tactile mouthfeel. Intense. Weighty and powerful. I was impressed. I'd give it 3+ years to settle though.
