Tasting Notes: Nose was very aromatic. Honey, beeswax. Next day it showed a lot of flowers. On the palate it was pithy with some salinity and good acid. Good fruit. Very expressive. Definitely take your time with this one, to allow it to breathe and fully express itself… last pour (after more than 12hrs) was most expressive and enjoyable.
