Remains more gold than bronze but getting there, sparkly surface with solidity underneath, clean and attractive. Apple juice nose, cinnamon and dough, dose of rose petals and lemon juice, hard to call it maderized because this may have been the intent from day one, either way does have a fresh feel and texture in the nostrils given the aromas themselves. Medium to full-bodied, dry and tacky on the tongue. The acidity level feels good but a bit hard to gauge with all the doughy, pie crust notes. Cinnamon, nutmeg, lemonade, and out of nowhere bubblegum. The apple, pear to red cherry fruit more subtle than forceful. Does a good job of varying sip to sip but in the end it's more intellectually interesting than viscerally pleasurable.

Yup, Marc....pretty much true of most of Abe's wines.
Thanks for the TN.
