As much as I wanted to like this, I just didn't. Acidity off the charts, without the balancing richness I was expecting. It does have sweetness, but it just seemed overwhelmed by the acid. Perhaps with time?

Nose all barnyard upon opening; blew off after two hours in the decanter (during which time it also opened up pretty well from a closed start). Good floral notes. Basically no fruit left. Has definitely seen better days, but still going strong.

This was very good. Full-bodied, almost rich, without being buttery. Strong, balanced acid. Citrus with a little tropical fruit.
