This wine has become much more rounded and gentle, not what many tasters prefer but as an aperitif it is just right. Good stone fruit notes, still ample acidity and good length. Drink now.

PnP out of refrigerator, so too cold to start. Color is pale yellow-green. Aromas of honey, lime, apple. On the palate this is soft and almost oily with flavors of green apple, honey and pineapple. Drinking before dinner with rosemary goat cheese on crackers. Full bodied. Wine complimented dinner of roasted tilefish and roasted broccoli with mushrooms.

Smooth. 6 months served well to smooth out the carbonated mouth feel. Another 6 months would do this wine justice. Still not picking up much flavor, but for 14$ from WTSO, can't complain too much. Good table wine.

Some evolution has occurred, with more forthcoming aromas of lychee, mandarin and citrus combined with a gentle floral note. Palate is still a bit too bracing for my taste, with a tart, acidic finish. Probably another year in bottle will make this wine sing. (As an addendum, I kept a portion of this bottle corked in the fridge for almost a week. It proved to be moderately oxidized with a sour finish).

Having loved the 2013, I was rather disappointed in this vintage. Quite tart and acidic, it didn't have the body or fullness of its older sister. Will continue to monitor, of course.

pretty lemony and high acid at opening, with something of a metallic feel on the palate. Not initially enjoyable. It relaxed a little over time and softened. Okay food wine now, but not terrific. I was curious how this would taste as not too long ago this was just grapes. I will stay away from the others for a year or so and see how they are then.

Undrinkable, oxidized and not pleasant.

Mellow and soft on the palate. Most of the acidity has faded so if you have any, drink up now!

Acidity has retreated just a little bit, making the wine more friendly to sip on its own. Nice lemon & green apple flavors with a hint of brioche.

Fabulous summer white. Any kind of salad or light apertif pairs well with this. Pale gold color, crisp, clean.

Hate to see it go! One more '14 left! Superb honey with back notes of ripe pineapple and no oak!

Really nice bottle of burgundy. If it comes up again on WTSO buy some more. Should be good another for another year or so.

Best described as "happy." This is so bright and appealing and easy. Perfect Macon and stellar value.

Steely and minerally, with bracing acidity. Neess to soften just a bit to show some fruit. Hold.
