This is an opulent, unforgettable white. Conundrum 2005 is a barrel-aged compote of several grape varieties. Some may find
it too perfumed for their liking. Huge tropical papaya, mandarin, banana, lime Popsicle and butterscotch (from the barrels) aromas. Full, smooth, satiny and almost sweet. Excellent to outstanding length. Vintages Essential.
