  From a 375. Deep orange fruit, exceptional spice, good purity; palate is full bodied, great concentration of fruit, balanced acidity, fresh, fades through the midpalate though and lacks a bit of persistence. Maybe the best showing so far. 90-91

  From a 375. Deep orange color; similar to notes before with nice aromas of citrus orange fruit, pure and concentrated; palate has great balance of sweetness and acidity, fresh fruit, but has started to lose its persistence in the midpalate. Still a lovely drink, but I will finish my last half in the near future. 90

  Dinner at Home (Fremont, CA): From 375. Medium golden color; nose has crystalline pure orange, citrus, purity of an icewine; palate is full bodied, excellent acidity to balance the sweetness, but even more than past notes this lacks persistence and depth on the palate; finish is short. This is on the decline and will not be improving, drink up in the short term. Still immensely pleasurable, but won't live up to top tier icewines. 89-

  From a 375. Coravin 12/21/13: Tropical orange fruit, great intensity on the nose, great purity; good balance of acidity and fruit flavor. Consistent with last note. Still excellent, but I don't think this is gaining much with additional age. Drink up and enjoy! 91-92
  12/30/13: Similar to note above.
