A beauty, ripe and balanced. Striking chocolate and coffeearomas lead to richly concentrated flavors of plum, toast,licorice and chocolate. Needs some time to come together. Well made and sophisticated, offering polished texture and enough cherry, raspberry, mint and light toast flavors to fill it out. Both concentration and elegance.
Ripe fruit is accented by just enough new oak and firm, ripe tannins.
Ripe and balanced. Clean, lingering finish. Firm tannins are balanced by fruit and crisp acidity. The finish is rich and long. This bold, rich white shows hints of a Sauternes character,but then acidity kicks in and it finishes with a clean Sauvignon crispness.
