This has really evolved over the past 10 months since I tasted it at the winery, going from crisp and pineapple-y then to more honeyed and tropical now, with opulent layers of peach and mango that coat the mouth on the long finish. Drink now.

This relatively understated wine is less ebullient than the 2000s it was tasted alongside, but held its own, with green apple and lemon fruit underscored by smoky, earthy flavors. The lemony finish lingers a long time.
