TASTING NOTES

Kenichi Ohashi MW

Ripe quince with subtle vanilla and petals. Totally vibrant, good concentration with long-lasting length. Richer weight due to butterscotch flavors, viscous mouthfeel, and medium+ acidity level.

Arnaud Bardary MS

Rich, intense, ripe fruit flavors. Candied pineapple compote, all going toward sweet fruit flavors. Surprising - the palate keeps an impressive acidity compared to expectation. Great wine, but I think too much towards sweet fruit flavors rather than delicate.

Denis Lin

Ripe tropical fruits, buttery. Sugar, preserved pineapple. Missing back of tongue. Finish with some oak vanilla.

Jane Anson

Pale green gold, with clear vibrancy. Peach flesh, touch of high-toned aromatics, lime zest if we are being kind and because it works on the palate, I am going to be kind. There is a flinty character here that gives balance to the pretty rich, ripe fleshy fruits.
