July 6, 2016 - Looking absolutely brilliant: fresh and crisp, but with some delightful tertiary flavours. Floral nose of lemon and honey, with hints of jasmine, lychee, and almond. Palate is mouth-filling, creamy, and bready, but with broad, powerful acidity. Flavours of lees, brown bread, lemon, rockmelon, and enoki. WOTN.

December 11, 2010 - Champagne and Cabernet (Farpointe Cellar): A complex nose of honey and pencil lead, with cream covered peaches and mocha playing a supporting role. The peach on the palate was very nice, and the graphite and honey gave a nice lift to everything.

December 11, 2010 - Saturdays at One - Volume 39: Tasted non blind. Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout with tiny and steady beading. Nose of sea foam, ginger, wet stones and yellow pears. Flavors of granny smith apples, lemon zest and tangy yellow pears. Bright acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold. 91+.
