Lemon shade of yellow, this wine shows well at room temperature. Nose of honesuckle, mangoes and hint of lemon. Moderate viscosity in the mouth, tropical fruits and orange peel bitterness on the finish. Good wine, probably a shade past peak. Still enjoyable. alc 13.5%

08 must have been a cool year in Paso--that 13.5 alcohol ( appreciate that you included that in your TN) is pretty low. I recall that on my one trip through there, 14.5 was low edge of normal!
