720 ml bottle. 2009 vintage, bottled 2012. Peppery, spicy nose, light esters, fruity. Peach, melon, grape. A bit of rice. Clear, slightly oily looking. Mild and mellow, tasting aged, spicy, pepper, peach, honey. Quite hot with alcohol. Sweet, stewed fruit and gumball impression becomes bit rough at the end, almost tannic. Metallic too, and earthy. Interesting for sure, pretty good, though maybe not great. Very smooth, full body, though.
