- Like the wine from 750 ml yet even more youthful. An expressive nose brimming with aromas of lime, grilled nuts, plus peach and pear notes is followed by subtle butter notes on the broad, rich, full flavors underpinned by racy, ripe acidity.

In short, this possesses the wow factor and it will age well for at least another decade and perhaps longer.
