Pale daffodil in color, this wine carries smells of hay, tangerine, phyllo dough and cracked walnuts. The palate is broad on the en- try, coating the mouth with generous glycerol. The acidity is modest but balancing. This full-bodied wine has moderate complexity and some potential to im- prove further, though most consumers will appreciate it in its youth. Drink 2014 through 2015.
