deliciously heady notes of peach and chamomile immediately hit the nose, promising ripeness and aromatic riches. the palate does not disappoint, releasing even more of those wonderfully balm-like, aromatic flavors. it brightens them with wondrous lemon freshness and boosts them with a poised dose of residual sweetness. it's an unusual wine that does not really fit any category but sits in a delicious aromatic off-dry class of its own. the best option with this probably is cheese, but it will serve well as a philosopher's wine, savored on its own. it has enough depth and beauty to nourish sustained thought. drink 2018–2035.
