Picked up a few bottles from a Keefer estate sale. Grower provenance. Cork was saturated but not leaking. Pop and pour, nose of caramel apple and white flowers. Creamy oily palate with sweet pear, lychee and bitter grapefruit pith. The oak has integrated nicely leaving just a little spice. The acidity pulls it all together for a nice overall package that was a pleasant surprise and nowhere near done. Will let my remaining bottles drag out the drinking window four more years.
