A crackle of sparkler flint, pineapple skin and yellow peach halves. Lemon curd tart, apple crumble and nutmeg. A wash of elevated acidity and a creamy melted butter gloss on the middle palate. Cinnamon buns, baked apple and vanilla sugar on the finish. Richly weighted and generous. This is laden with edibles to the point of decadence. A wine for drinking now and will cellar another 2-4 years. A perfect pairing with roast spatchcock or Sunday chicken dinners, extra gravy.
