  November 13, 2023 - In a great place. Very surprised as this had been around a long time and was thinking it was going to be too old. I was very wrong and wish I had another bottle.

  September 24, 2022 - Superb! Has great balance and lots of light floral, mineral-stone notes with very light honey and some stone fruit. The texture is rich and full bodied. Other older Roussannes from Tablas have been sweeter or had that honeycomb aged flavors (which are all ok) but this was a good balance of mineral and floral. Drink now though 2023 would be ok too.

  January 16, 2022 - I had lost this in my cellar and when I found it I thought it had little chance for a solid performance. I was totally wrong. This is still drinking very well, albeit much more tertiary. Honey, beeswax, apricot and chamomile. Really wonderful white, nearly 14 years old…

  July 28, 2016 - Although this is lacking in fruit at mid-palate and in the finish, this is still a solid offering. Age has shined a spotlight on the toasty mineral elements, and it has deepened the golden color in the glass. It's a beautiful wine to look at in the glass. Gooseberry, marzipan, peach and apricot nectar. Some antique oak elements in the bouquet and the finish. Mom would have loved this one. (����= Worth Seeking Out)

  February 15, 2016 - Bright 18k gold. Nose of melon, overripe white pommes and musk, soft palate of candied pears, peaches, and waxy bitterness. The finish is medium-long. To me this is like an under-concentrated dessert wine. Drank with chicken oriental stir fry, a reasonable match.
