April 8, 2022 - Bought this from a local corner store. Not sure why they had it. I'm pretty sure this wasn't a perfectly sound bottle. Some burnt sugar and baked citrus aromas - ripe and cooked tangerine, a bit of zeltinger chili pepper, baked apple. Palate is soft with baked apple and baked citrus - no real zing. finish is soft and baked. Not my smartest purchase.

October 14, 2018 - Prior bottle was almost four months ago, but given where the acidity was on the last bottle, I didn't want to take any chances. As it turned out, there was some positive bottle variation tonight. Peach, apple, pineapple and spices on a much more aromatically engaging nose. Medium bodied and perhaps a bit above that with golden apple and peach upfront. Lots of density in the middle with pineapple, orange and guava (along other tropical notes) and retains the contrasting tartness (tart orange and lemon) and citrus qualities on the backside. Overall, it felt like there was a bit more acidity in this bottle than the prior one, the fruit complexity was a bit more defined and the wine felt like it had more contrasts and nuances than the prior bottle. Based on this showing, it feels like this wine should have a number of years in front of it at the present level.
