Ah ha...this is more like it..and what I had hoped for with the vintage.
Aromas of apricots and juicy apples..lazy, hazy citrus fruits..minerals and some intensity.....smells like a winner. More apricots on the palate, some peach..real lively acidity..but..hurray..so easy to accept with that whole bowl of fruit covering it. Herbs and a gentle sweetness tie this one up..and the 13% alcohol you just never notice. A teenager without spots that will develope into a tasty young lady! Roll on the next one...

On your recommendation, I picked up one of these, in Bacharach, last year. Opened it for a New Year's Eve dinner and it was fantastic. Probably should have kept it a while longer, but I couldn't resist trying it.
Hi Darryl...
Maybe I should continue with this stuff...once in a while I know a good thing (smile)
Glad you liked it...
