April 18, 2005 - Deeper colour, some apple notes. Starting to get a bit blowsy and fall apart a little. Drink up.

December 23, 1999 - Burnished copper. Ttoasty barley sugar on the nose. Pinappley, waxy fruit. Multifaceted. Good colour, clean and elegant, well defined flavours. Superb.

January 27, 1999 - Restrained, elegant, powerful. Butterscotch and candied on the nose, restrained on the palatte. Full, very good. Less overtly oaky than the Stefani Bineyard chardonnay it was tasted alongside.
