Opened for Xmas (pre-dinner). Deep golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with just a tad of diesel at age 18. Plenty of peach, slight vanilla, some honey and some apple pie notes. Medium to full bodied. Slightly viscous texture. Nice acidity and balance. On the palate, this is sweet. If anything the sweetness is a bit more concentrated than in its youth. Also peach and some vanilla with some minerality. Nice finish. This is nice on its own but better with some food that works with the sweet and the acidity. It went as a nice foil to hummus with veggies and home made crackers. Drink over the next five to ten years.
