Amazing nose. That Drakes coffee cake cinnamon ribbon type ish. So beautiful. Edgy and beautiful spicy cinnamon palate. So elegant. Not rich at all. Very much on the lacy and lithe end of spectrum. Very very cool. Cinnamon stick and acid finish. Wow. Very light flavors. Very beautiful wine. Gentle. Gentle. GREAT — 11 years ago

Don’t often open these, lovely almond-butterscotch fragrance and flavor with a surprising whiplash of acidity. — 7 years ago
