  October 4, 2023 - honey, some coconut, smell of butter, ripe lemon, a bit of over ripe in a good way. Very long and dry .

  June 17, 2022 - Musarathon (Ariana II): Lovely stuff - waxy, oxidative character in full flow, with a hint of bitterness at the end. As a fellow diner described it, a «vin de meditation» - clearly wonderful but somewhat tiring. I do wonder if, had it had some more air, it would have been more accessible. Regardless, a very generous offering and a privilege to drink this distinguished wine.

  April 11, 2020 - Medium amber color. No hints of being over the hill. Nose that jumps out of the glass with honey, wax and hint of orange. On the palate strong acidity comes through, slightly less weight in the middle before filling out to a rich honeyed finish.

  August 10, 2019 - Reminded me a lot of Tondonia reserva Blanc and Ygay gran reserva. Beautiful golden darker yellow color. On the nose, caramelised almond, hazelnut, smoke, tropical fruits, and aged scotch. There was modest oxidation sensation on nose but it is not oxidised. On the palate, surprisely fresh with nice solid acidity, dry style of wine, with smoky nuts, baked walnut, minerals, dry Iranian apricot, and lingering gentle spices. Drank it over three days, structure of the wine continued, really surprised me on the upside.
  Grapes are Obaideh and Merwah.
