Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe apple, peach and spices. Sweet apple, resiny spices and a saline nuance on the palate. Offers good texture and thickness but finishes with a slightly hard edge that calls for a bit of patience. (An earlier sample of this wine showed a touch of cider vinegar and a distinctly dry finish.)

A fruit bomb on the nose and palate, with peach and fresh apricot flavors lifted by saline minerality. Sappy, concentrated and strong in extract, with a slightly glyceral mid-palate sweetness. Finishes with excellent intensity and length.
