The nose has high intensity aromas of honeydew melon, apricot, white peach, grilled pineapple, and honeysuckle, along with additional complexities of toast, charred wood, and vanilla from aging. On the palate, things are medium to full bodied, enhanced by slightly oily texture that is so characteristic of this grape.
