Not much to add after previous tastings. My last bottle from a case. Good fruit, but oak remains dominant. Perhaps in time it will integrate. Could pass for California.

Wood still dominant, but ample fruit remains suggesting a few more years of evolution. Drank with smoked trout pate that tamed the oak, and brought the fruit front and center. decent palate and finish. An excellent value.

Drinking a bit thin. Maybe age is not helping this wine. Nice when chilled. I taste pears and a mineral.

Wood dominant, fruit fading. It remains a very pleasant quaff, but not a great value when compared to many inexpensive macons.

Floral and tropical nose, with moderately sharp citrus and not-quite-ripe peach fruit notes. 13% abv.

Restrained nose of apples and wet stone. Minerality carries over to the palate with flavors of apple. Good acidity and barely noticeable oak notes.

Very well balanced and ready to drink. Wood stands out a little at this point. Some short term aging potential.
