August 10, 2017 - Cellar clean-up. We drank all these, several years ago, and they were delicious!

January 22, 2011 - Very rich and flavorful, but also a bit heavy and starting to show its age. Citrus fruits, honey and popcorn flavors dominate with a very full body and not quite enough acidity remaining to keep it in balance. Good flavors but just a bit clumsy.

July 19, 2009 - Nice open nose of white fruits, honey and minerals. Palate is waxy with rich fruit and sufficient acidity to provide length and freshness. Drinking very nicely. Will consume my last bottle in the next ~1 year.
