  February 15, 2022 - Opened this at home for the 15th day of the CNY. Shared this with my spouse and her sister.
  
  Gold in colour with a fragrant, sweet nectar on the nose, coupled with honey and beewax. On the palate the roundedness, smoothess and lean texture was impressive. Long lingering finish with peach, apricot, haw, nectarine and dates.
  
  One of the entry level wines from Robert Weil. Nothing entry level about the quality and finesse of this wine.
  
  Wonderful.

  May 31, 2020 - Really clean and expressive nose of pineapple, mango, citrus, and a stone minerality palate is elegant and generous with lots of tropical fruits, honey, just the right amount of acidity to keep the mouthfeel fresh and lingering

  November 15, 2013 - Friday Asian dinner @ Skeels: I have rated this more before, but this bottle was only slow-oxed for2hrs. Far better with extended decant when complexity improves to include Hawaiian Tropic (coconut, oil), citrus and a wonderful saline feature. Here it was a mouth coating, but simple sweet juice that frankly bored me after a sip. Left for others to finish.

  July 12, 2013 - Drank over 3 days, complexity definately improved. By day 3 this has notes of Hawaiian Tropic (coconut, oil), citrus and a wonderful saline feature. Far from the simple sweet juice after opening that had bored me after a glass. This will easily drink to 2020 and good value at ~$20. A good after-dinner drink, that can last for 3-5 days the fridge. With age would pair well with savory foods.
