Surprised by the rich gold color, but it was neither as old or as sweet as the color might suggest. Stonefruit on the front, some succulent sweetness, finishing with tart green apple. Not a ton of complexity, but tasty, and nicely balanced.

Tasted two bottles of this wine and both were different as far as maturity is concerned. One was deep gold in color and oxidized with apple notes and lacking acid. Over the hill. The second was lighter in color but still a nice gold. It had more fruit but was aging and slightly past its prime. 2010 was known as a strange vintage for a reason. This wine is an example. 1st bottle-- 77 points. 2nd bottle-- 86 points.

Agree with 10/15/14 note. My wife & I shared the bottle. While delicious, was maybe a bit too much sweetness for two people to share a bottle in one sitting. Suggest drinking over 2 days or having more than two drinkers.
