Freaking delicious. I enjoyed this far more than the 2012 Dom that NYE. Guess I like hedonism at year end.

Hedonistic and ready to go as the toastiness is getting oxidative. Plenty of lemony acidity to balance it out. Fun and delicious but drink up.

Some secondary notes with a nose of honey, slatey minerality and a hint of apples. Quite ripe but nicely balanced. Not profound but very complete
