Magnum. Dark gold. Roasted fennel nose. Really interesting! Big and waxy. Smoky and low acid. Lightly herbal. At peak. Long and throat warming. (JR)

The wine is full-bodied and stunningly rich, with a tight but promising nose of honey, peach blossom, acacia flower, and mineral scents. Unctuously textured, thick, rich, chewy flavors are buttressed by high acidity. The finish lasts for up to a minute. (RP)
