an aroma of fresh, green bartlett-pear peel comes first, then the riper notion of pear compote, with a grippy, lime-zest accent and a dash of pepper. waves of flavor unfold on the tongue and give exquisite length. it has ample mileage to develop; enjoy it now while primary and zippy or wait for mellowed richness later. either way, it belongs on the table. drink 2014–2020.
