2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle2010 vintage - Looks beautiful--golden amber with a ring of huge clear bubbles around the glass. Plasticy as hell on the nose...wtf? Smells of overripe, pungent apples with a bit of baking spice, but really the dominant smell is the plastic. Gross. Taste is a bit more apple-forward, real ripe, pretty sweet, but with a bitter finish of sharp apple skins. Man...not much about this that I liked.
