Last bottle, delicious, almost seems sweet, though dry. Spicy, full evolved fruit - similar to previous notes. Strikes me as best on its own, with Asian food, or even after dinner. Interesting. Would buy again.

Mmm, have had a case of this wine now. Not sure we will see it around again either, even in other vintages. One bottle remains, and I am willing to gamble with that one to see as it declines what advanced flavors it develops. Good juice even at room temperature, expansive, soft, spicy (though unoaked I believe), and is like a spiced yellow custard. Tangy. Thumbs up.

Very delicious wine. Already showing it's age slightly. Spiced apple sauce, ripe green pear, honeysuckle, sweet bread dough with white frosting, nice richness on the palate. Gnosis is right, this wine has a ton of character and is very unique. Middle weight and medium intensity with nice acidity and some steely mineral showing through on the finish. This is good stuff, very enjoyable. I enjoyed this more the warmer it got, it has a lot going on at room temperature.

Yum! Some custard notes to me. Unctuous tang. Going to enjoy it next with rich seafood stew. Love it on its own.
