October 24, 2010 - This bottle was a bit tired and lacking in acidity.

November 21, 2007 - Probably too old. Light orange color, but good complexity, a bit alcoholic. Interesting wine.

January 25, 2001 - Cloudy medium yellow color. Medium nose of lees and spice. Medium bodied on the palate. Lees, spice, and noticable oak. Decent acidity, but could use more fruit and less oak. OK.

January 22, 2000 - Cloudy yellow in color. A bit closed on the nose at first. A bit restrained aromatically, but rich and thick on the palate. Gobs of tropical fruits, and toasty oak. A bit more yeasty and leesy on the second day. OK.
