July 29, 2017 - Off-dry-light sweet balanced by crisp acidity. Pear, mango, lychee with lime. Excellent after-dinner sipper or for a contemplative moment.

January 15, 2017 - Tasted blind. Medium lemon with gold hues. The nose is clean, with peach, pear, grapefruit, wet stone and an interesting breadyness. The palate is off dry, but with excellent contrast between the residual sugar and the high acidity. The alcohol is low at 8.8%. The nose and the flavor intensity are medium plus. The finish is clean and crisp yet creamy. It is drinking well now, but has potential for ageing thanks to its acidity and depth.

January 10, 2017 - Tasted Blind
A: Medium lemon-green
N:Medium (+) intensity. Pear and apricot (primaries) and when first poured a huge amount of kerosene (tertiary-bottle age)
P: Medium (+) intensity. Aromas as on the nose with addition of pronounced honey and a more stewed (not dried) apricot and apples. Long finish
This seemed medium dry, m+ acid and body and low alcohol.
C: Drink now or age. A wine of outstanding quality. -

June 20, 2016 - On the nose there is a huge heaping of musky, over-ripe fruits. Like juicy musk melon at its peak or yellow stone fruits left to ripen a day too long. Not enough to be offputting, but its the dominant aroma. On the palate the flavor is continued albeit not as prominent as on the nose. Mild sweetness, overall a nice wine but you have to like the musky nose here.

August 2, 2015 - Very light hay in colour; has a strong nose of sweet green apples with a hint of apricots. On the palate, has some nice notes of stony sweet yellow fruits with a touch of tangy and tarty saline; medium finish.
