Love everything about the nose on this - it’s like a sweet, floral spring rain. Lots of pineapple on the palate.

Meaty par excellence Nose after 30 min rest: Vanilla, dark caramel, raisins, butterscotch, almonds, stewed apples, spice, pineapple, strawberry, peaches, apricot Taste: Begins with sweet fruit, bright florals, the meatiness present in the 13 returns, this time with a darker and stronger presence, as the taste moves towards a more mature darker caramel. Long finish with notes of caramel, chocolate, baking spices. Almost a Whiff of smoke in there too.

Not bad just not alot going on a bit disappointing

Nose - Blueberries, watermelon, apples, spices, vanilla, light florals, almonds…. Palate- Coconut, Pineapples, white pepper, crème brulee, butterscotch, crumble, ginger, slight minerality but meatiness. Sulfur? Best mouthcoat. Finish – Longest, vanilla/white pepper returns, white chocolate, waxiness. Water – N – Brings ginger forward, tea, hay, cereal, barley, oak. P – Spice down, more toffee, caramel, cinnamon, milk chocolate. F- Never dry, black pepper, still long, but prefer neat..maybe.. 4.5 of 5. Excellent! $125-150

Really ripe and sour fruits. I was afraid at first that this is just another honey juice but it goes a lot further. If you give it some time there is a fresh parsley smell and then peaches. Not overly sweet on the nose. Herbs and spices and on the palate along with a brown rock candy sweetness and a fresh hotness. A bid of sweet licorice. Nice.

Spicy, toffee, smooth.

Wanted to like this more as the 13 year old is very good.
