  December 28, 2007 - Tropical Fruit is a bit more faded vs. youth but this wine is still rich yellow, with strong flavors apple, pear , of honey, and caramel. Acid is still high enough to offset heavy flavors.

  December 8, 2007 - Dark gold tending to amber. Perhaps getting past its prime although this botle has been carefully cellared. Heavy oak dominating the nose and palate. The fruit has receeded into the background and struggles to make it way out. The oak makes an almost tannic type finish somewhat bitter and disjointed. Frankly, just not very good at all. Maybe an off bottle from the beginning.

  May 1, 2006 - Rich, hazelnut, tropical fruit with hints of apple and pear. Wonderful aromas, almost a burgundian feel. We tasted this wine blind with 4 Grand Cru and 1 Premier Cru Burgundies and it came in second. Granted the 2002 Burgundies will outlive this wine, but right now it's wonderful!
