Community Tasting Notes 9

  December 3, 2021 - This is rather nice. Strong semillon fruit on the nose; the palate is nicely balanced, smooth, easy drinking, honey, sweet citrus, light acidity. The finish is clean and moderate length.
  
  So still going strong and OK QPR at the ~US$32 that I paid.

  December 24, 2018 - Xmas Eve. Good on its own with notes of orange, honeysuckle, lemon and apple. Best on its own or with the guacamole with pomegranate and not as good with the French onion soup. (Would need to be older)
  
  I had the end 9 hours after being open and it was different, with more pear and bread notes, suggesting this would age well.
  
  Good qpr for $24. Drink or age

  February 26, 2017 - Lovely medium gold color.
  
  Evolving nose of honey, and candied citrus (lemon, caramel apple ), not quite at stone fruit, but will likely get there.
  
  Medium body with plenty of zingy acidity and lots of honeyed fruit on the palate with also a savory element. The finish is medium plus and this is a very impressive wine for this estate.
  
  Drink now or hold for up to a decade longer. This seems to have the potential to gain more complexity in the bottle if stored properly.
  
  Purchased at the estate in July 2015.

  May 15, 2015 - Bright citrus, orange and honeysuckle in the nose open to a vibrant, fresh, refreshing blast of grapefruit, lemons and vanilla in the crisp finish.

  December 10, 2014 - Really good. Peach, wet stone, cut grass on the nose; peach, stewed stone fruits on the palate. Full bodied. Round, soft, fruit-driven finish. Upside surprise.
