June 16, 2017 - This was delicious. Good balance; buttery, silky, full mouthfeel with enough acidity to make it fresh and lively. Citrus and peach notes. Just coming into it's maturity...could hold.

July 3, 2016 - shared with pat at ama restaurant. celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary. this was a wonderful wine to celebrate a wonderful occasion. i rarely order wine in restaurants due to the markup. in this case, the food, the ambiance, the service, and the occasion demanded that i break the rules. i am glad that i did. a great producer from a great region. the wine lived up to its reputation. the description offered by sine enthusiast rings true. fully mature. firing on all cylinders. probably will never see this wine at this price again.

December 6, 2015 - Delicious toasty/biscuity nose; pale green colour; definitely hint of effervescence with tart gooseberries and some sherbet. Good acidity with citrus notes - not at its best yet

August 22, 2015 - Light amber. Nose provides initial hints of citrus, pineapple. Tasting palate is extremely bright, borderline effervescent. Lemon, pineapple, some ripe pear, wet stone. The wine's effervescence personality relaxed over the hour we consumed it - me with beautifully paired lobster and drawn butter. It evolved into a very approachable, appealing wine. Moderate finish with floral notes.
