As good of not better than last time out. Drew oohs and aahs from everyone who tasted.

Nov 26th, 20161878 Christopher&Co Bual - why? To celebrate buying a new house and my finishing the last credentialing hurdle I will face for the next ten years with my wife's favorite wine.
And how is it? A tawny, darkened marmalade color with a lovely oxidized nose of burnt orange, hazelnut and dried figs. Noticeable but slight volatile acidity.On the palate it is rich without heaviness with a good streak of acidity that balances out the sugar in the vein of a good Beerenauslese. The finish is clean and strongly evocative of fresh roasted coffee and toffee.
