notes of beeswax, mirabelle plum compote and faint cardamom spice suggest a wine no longer in the first flush of youth. this is a compounded, rich but dry, layered but ultraclean wine. the palate reveals textured notes of gingerbread framed by the ripe fruit of ripe, dried yellow plums and even stored winter apple. there is just an echo of peach on the finish. this has lots of substance.
