July 3, 2021 - Deep gold. Nose tells you right away this is a buttery wine, older style. But it IS drinking superbly, probably has deepened with age. Long long palate. Lemon curd, white fruit, but definite honey and butter. Not exactly for me but to be fair, amazing how nicely it’s aged, and it’s a high quality wine. If you prefer the style, 95+

January 24, 2021 - I am starting to see the magic of this wine. Unlike before, I immediately picked up some sweetness that counterbalanced the tart and rich, tropical fruit flavors. Kind of like key lime pie with whipped cream. Or a banana daiquiri. Sweet, fruity...and tart. This sensation brought about more enjoyment for me and to see this wine evolve has been eye-opening. Not sure if this evolution is me or the wine.

September 11, 2020 - Popped and poured. Opens with a lovely floral nose intermixed with hints of orchard fruit. The wine is surprisingly quite cloudy and so there may be a bit of taint somehow. On the plate it is reasonably good with flavors of Granny Smith apples, tropical fruits, minerals and toast but there isn’t a lot of subtlety or energy showing through. The wine is also a bit advanced so I would drink it sooner rather than later

August 14, 2020 - I reviewed this a couple of years ago. It was very good then and it’s very good now. One or two reviewers have been unduly pessimistic about it’s staying power but it’s still in excellent shape. Same tasting motes as before, tropical fruits, caramel, good acidity and a pleasure to drink.
