Nose of melon, pineapple and apple. Smooth honeysuckle and passion fruit hit hard with a medium finish to crisp apple.

Flat and lack of concentration and acidity. Alcohol is what's left for the finish. Having a hard time to comprehend the great reviews.

Booooooooozy! I don't mind 15% abv as long as I can't taste it. Lacking acidity and finesse. I don't get the hype

This wine (2013) is the reason for remainder bins. Bought it strictly for the unoaked aspect, and the unusual opacity of the bottle. Worth the $15 experiment, but the viscosity of the wine was disturbing. Lanolin? Past it's prime in 2017?
