Weighing in at 13.3% alcohol, 'The Elusive Queen' by Big Table Farm is a stellar, ageworthy bottling by superstar winemaker Brian Marcy. Needing more than a one hour decant, this wine arises with aromatics of toasted hazelnuts, creme brulee, bananas foster and ripe pineapple. The texture is simply gorgeous as this stunning wine glides through the mid-palate. The fruit weight is intense, as the wine currently displays a dazzling array of flavors including kumquat, lemon oil, brioche, and suggestions of Granny Smith apple pie. Dense and decadent, this will cellar marvelously for a decade or more.(Best 2017-2028) - May, 2017 (OB)
