Review

Medium-light golden yellow; attractive, floral, spicy, earthy, green apple aroma that developed depth and intensity with airing in the glass; full body; big, forward, intense, plush, buttery green apple flavors with a full, rounded mouth feel; firmly structured; long finish; lingering aftertaste. Needs another year or two of bottle aging to reach its prime. Very highly recommended.
