March 23, 2010 - this was an interesting bottle for me, i don't usually have whites this aged. color was dark and clear. nose was floral with hints citrus. palate was herbal with hints of caramel, pears, and minerals. the only thing that gave away it's age was a tart after taste that i didn't really care for. it went quite well with the lemon chicken Mary made for dinner.

February 21, 2005 - A nose of faintly spicy flowers hidden behind diesel. Cloudy, but it doesn't seem to affect the taste. Medium-bodied with a pleasantly long finish. A very interesting wine which, I'll admit, I don't quite get.
