September 8, 2017 - Chicago Wine Flock...Burgundy Al Asks "Is it Grand Cru?" (My home - Chicago IL): Apricot jam, butterscotch and honeycomb with some spice and floral hints. Good length and weight. Better now vs what I recall from when last time tasted, 10-15 years ago.

July 19, 2017 - Loire Night (Bear and Star, Los Olivos, CA): Lush and sweet but lacking an acid-based backbone. Hints of oxidation beginning. Not distinguished.

June 4, 2017 - Not as good as when tasted in 2001. This had very little nose. The palate was nice, but unexciting. Evolved, with flavors of dried peaches and white raisins without much minerality. A bit soft without much length. Not a bad wine, just disappointing considering what I paid for this... no length, zing or electricity here.

December 26, 2016 - amber colored, not overly-sweet, and pleasant. Plenty of acid on this wine, too, but I agree with other reviewers that it is not a stellar QPR. Butterscotch, lemon, and quince.
