Whatever your feelings on the 16.2% alcohol might be, this wine is an achievement. Compared to Diatom's Clos Pepe bottling, this one's more citrusy, and certainly more acidic, which helps balance the alcohol. The lemon drop flavor detonates on the palate with an almost searing intensity that stimulates the salivary glands, and while the finish is bone dry, it has a honey-rich opulence.
