July 4, 2022 - Old apples and then some more old apples. Great acidity but the rest is just browning apples.

May 20, 2020 - Medium yellow-golden colour. Ripe stone fruit, apple, toast, spice and vanilla, with lively acidity, some oak tannin and good length of the dry, lightly tannic finish. Some apple peel bitterness. Unpleasant, sandpapery mouthfeel. Left a furry feeling on the middle of the tongue. A little fresher than the last bottle, but disjointed nonetheless. Not a fan. 88(-)

March 23, 2019 - Bought recently on sale. Probably not the best kept bottle. The evolved, medium-bodied wine was golden in colour and offered dried stone fruit, bruised apple, wax, honey, nuts, almond, Hubba Bubba and a spice component on the nose and palate, with moderate acidity, a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and very good length. The wine‘s smooth mouthfeel stood out, but all in all the evolved wine was a little bland and disjointed. Best enjoyed with food; grilled fish should work, maybe Sushi or even filet mignon. Would not buy again.

May 29, 2016 - From what I gather, it didn't see any oak, but the structure it such that I suspected it spent some time in the barrel. Overall medium light and elegant body. Steely white fruits and overall round restraint characterise this wine. It doesn't try to be loved, but the complexity that it possesses doesn't let you put off the glass.

July 21, 2013 - Smooth and even creamy, very easy and pleasantly drinking, loved it. Feeling guilty now for not taking proper notes, but the wine was so enjoyable at the time. (B+)
