Tasting Notes

A densely fruited and notably ripe yet markedly fresh nose displays aromas of white peach, apple, floral notes and hints of citrus and pain grillé. There is excellent size, weight and muscle to the big-bodied, powerful and concentrated flavors that display excellent length if only moderate depth at present on the mouth coating finish where a touch of wood resurfaces. However unlike the prior wines this is clearly built to age and if it can develop more complexity than what I currently envision my score could easily be too conservative.
