Absolutely seamless. Great ripe tropical nose, which faded a bit but gained complexity with oxygen. Nicely balanced mouthfeel, neither too viscous or too thin. Great nuanced flavors of ripe pear, pineapple, a hint of coconut. Finishes cleanly. A truly intriguing wine when paired with classic cuisine. I decanted for a couple of hours, and the wine only profited from it...so it should hold up to some more cellar time with ease.

Stored in cold cellar since release. Perfect condition. Restrained bouquet deep colour. Full bodied excellent balance. Lovely minerality. Classic.
