Guy Des Rosiers Likes this wine: 90 points
September 26, 2017 - Deep golden core. Banana, pineapple and apple on the nose. Unlike a previous bottle I tried just last week (which tasted more like fino sherry than white wine - not an awful thing, but certainly not what I expected!), this is not oxidized, but appropriately mature for a 13-year-old white. Very full-bodied; balanced acidity; ground cherry, gooseberry, subtle flavors of tropical fruit on the palate, mixed with something waxy, almost savory, somewhere between pumpkin/zucchini and nut meal. Long length. Very lovely indeed.
